After falsely subscribing to bug 871986, i see that now i'm in the right place. After reading the comments on thiw bug, i confirm that it easier for the launcher to reveal after the adjustments proposed. I still however have to "hit hard" the left part of the screen to reveal the launcher, something that i don't consider a right setting, because of two reasons: 1. It is not an obvious decision to start "hitting the left side of the screen". An obvious thing to do is to leave the cursor there for a little longer, something that sadly does not work. 2. It reminds me of the "you just need a bigger hammer" logic, of which i am no t a fan. I also want to point out that this cannot be solved when using 12.04 in virtualbox guest installation, as pressuring left with the mouse just a) exits the mouse off the guest OS onto the host OS if the host OS is on "never hide launcher" setting, or b) reveals the Host OS launcher if the host OS is on "autohide" or "avoid window" launcher setting.

This is even worse on trackpad. Related issue: on multimonitor setup, going from one monitor to the edge suffer from the same issue (you have to push the mouse a lot, more than it felt naturally needed). Especially when you drag a window using the trackpad. Also, when you put your mouse on the central point slowly to go to monitor 2, you get stuck even if you believe that the mouse is already on the monitor 2 (because there is one pixel left on monitor 1 and the whole cursor is drawn on monitor 2) This is on a dell Latitute XT2, with default mouse velocity option.
