Bug Description

I have two external monitors that I configure in twinview mode using disper which works as expected in Natty.

Testing in Oneiric I have found that the Launcher is now in the wrong position, on the secondary monitor.

I have attached two screenshots and the screen config I use with disper.

unity: 4.20.0-0ubuntu2
nvidia-current: 280.13-0ubuntu3

@Muhammad

I can see that there are people commenting with similar issues however that bug was opened during Natty development and I am reporting something that is working perfectly in Natty but is now broken in Oneiric. Also that bug does not specifically address using Twinview with the nvidia drivers.

After the last update unity 4.24.0-0ubuntu2b1vv1 using Nvidia Twinview configuration the launcher is back to the left (non-primary) monitor. :(

In Ubuntu 12.04 using Twinview now the Launcher is in both monitors or in the primary monitor.

So i think is fixed.
