Bug Description

When I switch from my 10.1 inch netbook to an external monitor, the unity bar remains the same (small) size, and doesn't adapt to the bigger screen, see the attached screenshot.

How to reproduce:
-Log into unity on the smaller screen.
-Switch to a bigger screen
-Observer how the unity bar is still the same size, and doesn't expand to the full size of the new monitor.

Temporary fix:
Press alt+f2 and run
unity --replace

to restart unity, after the restart unity will know its on a bigger monitor and draw the left bar accordingly.
