The problem here is (once again) that unityshell loads after the place
plugin and overrides its settings.

Also the standard setting of the Place plugin is not optimal if multi-
monitors are used, because the standard setting for Multi Output Mode is
set to "Use active output device", which is better than not working at
all, but "Use output device with pointer" as the users attention is
usually there.

The fix for this problem makes changes to unityshell.xml.in and
place.xml.in, so changes to lp:unity and lp:compiz are involved here.
