** Description changed:

+ [Impact]
+ 
  If the screen is locked, launcher/panel edge barriers at the moment are
  active.
+ 
+ [Test Case]
+ 
+ In a multi-monitor environment, lock the screen and move the mouse
+ between monitors.  There should be no "sticky" edge between the
+ monitors.
+ 
+ [Regression Potential]
+ 
+ Code in the paths that handle the edge barriers was changed.
+ Potentially this could impact the reveal of a hidden Launcher if there
+ were errors introduced in these code paths.
+ 
+ [Other Info]
+ 
+ The fix for Ubuntu 14.04 LTS was cherry picked from the Ubuntu "Vivid
+ Vervet" dev release where it has been in production use for some time.

  [Impact]

  If the screen is locked, launcher/panel edge barriers at the moment
  are active.

  [Test Case]

  In a multi-monitor environment, lock the screen and move the mouse
  between monitors.  There should be no "sticky" edge between the
  monitors.

  [Regression Potential]

  Code in the paths that handle the edge barriers was changed.
  Potentially this could impact the reveal of a hidden Launcher if there
  were errors introduced in these code paths.

  [Other Info]

  The fix for Ubuntu 14.04 LTS was cherry picked from the Ubuntu "Vivid
  Vervet" dev release where it has been in production use for some time.
