This bug is driving me insane. It makes Unity almost unusable for me. I have two large monitors (24) with my primary display directly in front of me and the second one angled to the left. I am very mouse-centric (I use very few keyboard shortcuts) and having to twist my neck all the way to the

Re: lp:~andyrock/unity/fix-742544 @Andrea, reverting all of r1609 is a bad idea. Part of r1609 is the removal of multiple redundant calls to gdk_screen_get_primary_monitor, which is very useful to keep. I suggest the fix, even a temporary one, should just change uscreen-GetPrimaryMonitor() which

Almost there. I think the colour of the overlays needs to be significantly different to that of the grey background or else it's visually confusing. Perhaps black, like it is at present in Gnome 3. Also optionally, the overlay(s) should have arrows, or something, to indicate they are drag-able.
