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.
