Comment 67 for bug 668415

I think it'd be helpful for this practical-usefulness of this bug to highlight cases where moving the launcher is critical, and either get suggested workarounds or hard answers from Mark (or other people representing the decisions) on 'expected behavior':

1. Synergy setups with a computer to the left of the primary display
 - this is the most arguable case for needing to move the launcher, imo. You cannot click on anything along the left edge of the screen OR make the panel appear since your 'left edge' spills off to the next monitor.
2. Dual-monitor setups with one screen to the left of the other
 - if the right monitor is your primary, the button and apps are all hard to click on quickly
3. Dual-monitor setups with one screen above the other
 - problems would match those described here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/668415/comments/66
4. Triple-monitor setups with one portrait screen and two landscape (or more monitors)
 - problems would match those described here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/668415/comments/66
5. Triple-monitor setups with three portrait-mode displays next to each other
 - problems similar to #1
6. Single-monitor setups in portrait mode
 - I don't think auto-hide is acceptable here.. the problem is the lost screen space

Mark or someone authoritative, I look forward to hearing your responses to each of these problematic conditions.
