[Ayatana] unity launcher position

2011-11-09 Thread Simon Čopi
I am using unity 6 months. I am missing two things. 1. Why is launcher fixed on the left side? On wide screens there is quite far to reach it if you are on right side. Bottom is closer. But if there is no bottom place for it because of space, there is space on the right side. If I move mouse
