Bug Description

I was running a full-screen app (pyroom) on my main monitor which was fine but when I full screened any other app on the other monitor, unity paint shadows for missing menu bars on whichever monitor has focus.

Not sure if related, but this seems like a partial fix to another bug I was experiencing where the panel showed on top (bug #734908)

Run terminal and press f11 to maximize it. The shadow is visible. However, if you maximize the terminal window first and then f11 for fullscreen, the shadow is missing and everything is fine.

Another way I resolved this was to go into "appearances" (searched from the dash), then set the theme to "Radiance". This theme doesn't use the menu bar shadow.

Someone also modified the original theme's (ambience) shadow graphic to fix the problem, but I'de have to go back and find it again... I did that once, but after installig 12.04 on a few different machines it was just easier to change the theme.
