Title:
  Panel and launcher visible on top of multimonitor non-focused
  fullscreen apps

Bug description:
  When a window is in 'fullscreen' mode (fullscreen, not maximize) on a
  multi-monitor output,  then the unity top panel should stay hidden
  unless another (non fullscreen) window on that particular monitor is
  given the focus.

  Currently, should the fullscreen window lose focus, then the unity
  panel takes precedence and goes on top, regardless of which monitor
  the newly focussed window is on.

  My use case is this:

  2 monitors being used with some presentation software (opensong) which
  has 2 windows - the presentation fullscreen window to show on the
  projector, and a control window to show on the other monitor.

  Currently as soon as a user clicks in the control window, the
  presentation window having lost focus then has the panel appear over
  it - degrading the experience for the audience. This can be restored
  by clicking on the fullscreen window to give focus back to it, but
  really the operator should stay working within their control window to
  control what is being presented.
