Bug Description

Binary package hint: unity

I have two monitors set up with Unity (one on left, one on right, same resolutions). The launcher is on the right monitor. When "Hide Launcher" is set to "Never" under Ubuntu Unity Plugin with CompizConfig Settings Manager (CCSM), application windows on the right window that are maximized are behind the launcher, rather than next to it, making anything on the left side of the application completely inaccessible (by touch/mouse).
