Bug Description

Alt-Tab application switcher is offset by one when on external monitor. In the attached screenshot you can see that even though Software Center is centered, the skewed icon on the left for Xchat is the one which is actually selected. I can't reproduce this when running it on the integrated LCD.

Thanks for the bug report. It seems these screen resolution are not really what Unity targets and I see no chance for that changing. I believe I even read John Lea saying 1024*576 is whats our minimal supported resolutions
