Please add this to ubuntu as unity on the left side gets in the way when
using multiple monitors.  Also when it is set to auto hide when using
multiple monitors it is very hard to get it to pop up it also causes the
mouse to occasionally be trapped on the right screen when it thinks you
are trying to pull up the launcher but really trying to go to the other
screen.

Title:
  unable to move the Launcher to the right side of the screen

Bug description:
  I find Unity's placement of the Launcher on the left side of the
  screen distracting to my work on the computer.

  My focus starts at the top-left of the screen. I need the application
  I am working in to reside there--not the OS's controls. I use Windows
  7 and have always placed the Taskbar on the right side of the screen.
  This placement is perfect because it does not distract my focus from
  the application, yet it is readily accessible when I need access to
  it.

  I see no good reason why Unity can not provide the option to users to
  place the Launcher on the right side of the screen. To be frank, I
  will not use Unity if the Launcher cannot be moved from the left side.
  It simply is not conducive to how I interact with my computer.

  I am interested and supportive of Ubuntu's efforts for change. But not
  offering users the option of a different placement for the Launcher is
  going too far. It will only encourage me to keep using Windows.
