Hi,

I installed the patch yesterday. Only to report - it works with Unity 3D,
ATI Radeon card and catalyst drivers.
Thank, you!

PS. I keep my finger crossed this fix will go into main repositories - it's
really useful.

Bug description:
  WORKAROUND FOR 11.10:

  None available. But an early fix is available for 11.10 in
  ppa:vanvugt/unity, https://launchpad.net/~vanvugt/+archive/unity

  WORKAROUND FOR 11.04:

  There are two ways to configure the primary monitor in Ubuntu 11.04...

  Permanent workaround (requires logging back in again):
  Edit ~/.config/monitors.xml, find the monitor you want the launcher to display on and change:
      <primary>no</primary>
  to:
      <primary>yes</primary>
  Now log out and log in again.

  Temporary workaround (no logout required):
  Open a Terminal window and...
  1. Run "xrandr" to find the NAME of the output you would like to make primary.
  2. Run: xrandr --output NAME --primary && nohup unity --replace &

  ORIGINAL DESCRIPTION:

  Binary package hint: unity

  In my particular configuration I have an external monitor hooked up to
  my laptop on the left of the laptop display.  The unity bar is ending
  up on the laptop display though making it in the middle of the two
  monitors.

  This makes it quite difficult to activate the bar with a full screen
  application open on the laptop (hitting the upper left pixel of that
  monitor without going over).

  I think it would make more sense to make it configurable which monitor
  the bar ends up on, or at least look at the orientation of the
  monitors when determining where to put the bar.
