Bug description:
  On a fresh install of Ubuntu 12.04, Unity 5.10.0-0ubuntu6, if I switch
  my display settings from non-mirrored to mirrored, the launcher
  vanishes. Note that I have the launcher "auto-hide" setting disabled,
  so it should always be visible.

  [Test Case]
  Steps to reproduce:
  * Open System Settings -> Displays.
  * Make sure the launcher is only allowed to be shown on the external monitor.
  * Check "Mirror displays" checkbox.
  * Click "Apply".
  * Unity launcher vanishes. The only way I've found to restore it is to switch back to non-mirrored mode.

  [Regression Potential]
  None.

  Other applications are affected by the switch to mirrored mode. If a
  window is maximized prior to the mirroring, often it will take up a
  narrow vertical strip (maybe 20 pixels wide) on the right side of the
  screen - de-maximizing restores restores it to a window, but re-
  maximizing restores it to the narrow vertical strip.
