Re: [Ayatana] Dash should be in full screen by default in desktop

[Jonathan Meek <shrouded.cloud@xxxxxxxxx>]

Unity, as of my last checking, only uses fullscreen for above
1280x800. I know this because my lapop uses 1280x720 and switched Dash
to Desktop mode. I agree that it should be made available in CCSM,
though. Make the option readily usable instead of hidden away.
