Comment 16 for bug 752098

I tested this and it did not resolve my issues as stated above.

I did however discover a few days ago that my issues go away when I set my primary display for the X screen in Nvidia X Server Settings ->X Server Display Configuration to my left display. I read somewhere that the Unity launcher positions it self to +0+0 and I recognised why it was in the center of my displays.

For my testing I set my primary display back to the right monitor. When my primary display is set to the right monitor and I open an application in the right monitor it opens it at the left most edge (+1680+0?) of the display which is underneath the Unity launcher. This does not occur when my primary display is set to the left monitor and I open an application in the left monitor. The application opens to the right of the Unity launcher and fills the screen correctly. This leads me to believe that that issue I am having occurs because the Unity launcher is displayed based on the settings in Nvidia while other applications do not take into effect the settings in Nvidea. I'm probably misappropriating Nvidia when I should be saying X Configuration FIle, but I don't really understand how it all works, so I'm just stating what I see and do to replicate or elevate my issues.

Come to think of it, regardless of my primary display setting, if I open an application in my right monitor it opens at the left most edge of the right display. Also, regardless of my primary display setting, If I open an application in my left monitor it doesn't open it at the left most edge of the left display, because the left most edge of the display appears to be reserved for the Unity launcher. In the case where my primary display setting is set to the right monitor (not working) any application that needs to open an additional window does so in an area that I'm referring to as being reserved for the Unity launcher(a very small zone). In the case where my primary display setting is set to the left monitor (working) any application that needs to open an additional window does so correctly as the Unity launcher occupies the area that I'm referring to as being reserved for the Unity launcher in this case.
