Title:
  [panel] on a multi monitor setup the panel length appears to be
  calculated with the screen in focus at the time of execution

Status in unity-2d package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Release:
  Description:    Ubuntu 11.10
  Release:        11.10

  Package:
  unity-2d-panel:
    Installed: 4.12.0-0ubuntu1
    Candidate: 4.12.0-0ubuntu1
    Version table:

  Expected behavior:
  The panel calculates it's width for each monitor on which it is displayed covering the span from left edge to right.

  Actual Behavior:
  When I log in with an external monitor connected the panel at the top might be in one of two possible configurations. Either the larger screen will have a shortened panel (http://i.imgur.com/vEC8K.png) or the smaller screen will have one that extends past it's viewport (http://i.imgur.com/vWBM1.png). Both are highlighted red in the images. 

  More importantly when I kill and restart the panel it will size itself
  to whichever screen has focus. That's how I was able to take screens
  of both.
