Binary package hint: unity

When I have multiple screens of different resolutions connected, the
mouse pointer can go outside of the screen in which case it can be very
hard to "hit" the corner left corner and get the launcher to show.

Depending on whether the bigger screen is a bit above or bellow the
smaller one, the mouse can disappear on the upper or lower edge of the
screen and it's hard to hit the upper corner (and show the launcher) or
the lower corner (make the launcher unfold to show all the icons on the
bottom of the launcher).

This should probably either be fixed in the multiple screen management
program so that the mouse can't go off the screen or in Unity to take
into account the case in which the pointer can go beyond the screen
above the upper left corner or below the lower left corner and make
those areas also trigger the desired behaviour.

Also, I noticed on some occasions when I am using multiple screens that
hitting the left edge doesn't make the launcher unfold around the icon
on that height (or let me click at the icon), but I have to move the
mouse a few pixels to the right first - as if the mouse pointer can go
1px outside of the screen to which the launcher isn't sensitive.

I am using Ubuntu 11.04,  my screens are: a 15.4" 1600x1050 laptop and a
20" 1600x1200 Dell monitor, but I've noticed similar issues with other
external monitors connected (23" 1920x1080 LG, for example).
