Title:
  Hot corners (window spread) not working with multiple monitors

Status in Unity:
  Confirmed
Status in “unity” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Using Ubuntu 13.04 x64 fresh install on Thinkpad E420s.

  If I define a hot corner (such as window spread on top-left and top-
  right) using either Unity Tweak Tool or CCSM, they work fine while my
  laptop is not connected to an external monitor. The monitor is set to
  be to the left of my laptop in the Display settings

  When I connect via VGA, the top-left hot corner no longer works (on
  either display).  The top-right one continues to work.

  On the other hand, if I move the external monitor to the right side of
  the laptop, the top-left continues to not work on either display, but
  the top-right works on the external display. Perhaps this is the
  intended behavior, but it seems more intuitive if you can  use the hot
  corners on each display.

  On gnome-shell, I would intentionally misalign the external monitor
  and the laptop display so I could use the top-left hot corner on the
  laptop screen. This is a very useful behavior.

  As a workaround, I will just use the top-right corner, but I would
  prefer if the top-left worked as expected.
