@UnityUser: if you cannot move your mouse cursor any other way than
right, there's not much sense in you using a computer at all.

@Lisa Schmidt: this is in no way discrimination, nor ignorance or
arrogance. It's a design vision for a cross-device User Interface aimed
at making Ubuntu available to a larger audience. I know that's hard to
comprehend but that's the way it is.

Now, it's quite clear that the Unity launcher is not going to be
moveable by default (at least for the time being). There are plenty of
solutions out there if you don't like Unity the way it is not (or if you
want to move the launcher). You're not oblidged to use Unity. Nobody's
forcing you.
