Comment 66 for bug 668415

Does no one else use multi-monitor setups with one monitor on top of the other?

I just gave unity a 'real try' on my primary work desktop, where I have two matched landscape-oriented monitors, one directly above the other, and not only is it pretty much impossible to click the ubuntu button (since it's hovering right on the border between my monitors), I also have TWO top menu bars duplicating the time and notification area buttons.

This is extremely confusing and a usability nightmare compared to simply letting me put the ubuntu button / launcher on the bottom or top.

Worse yet, any new window in this setup is created with the window decorator completely hidden beneath the menu bar on the bottom screen and resized to just 20-50 pixels tall.

Mark, I respect your design goals but they are simply not in line with the desktop PC experience. I think unity is fine for touch pads but for a significant portion of your userbase (everyone where I work has AT LEAST 2 monitors.. many have 3 or 4), these goals are NOT being well-realized.

I truly believe you're either going to have to allow these configuration choices or you'll have to create a separate ubuntu-desktop-pc package again.
