Just a heads-up on something we need to be aware of for Precise.  Those that 
aren't Alpha testing may not yet know that the launcher dodge feature has been 
removed.  Mark Shuttleworth's reply to a query on why this was done is here: 
https://lists.launchpad.net/unity-design/msg07665.html

The default behaviour is now to never hide, however the "always hide" setting 
can be found in System Settings --> Appearance --> Behavior.

Windowed applications now position to avoid the launcher initially, however 
full screen apps are overlayed by the launcher.  I think most new users will 
change the behaviour to "always hide" as soon as they find out how to do it 
because of this.

I can't fault the logic, but it feels broken now that I've finally gotten used 
to the dodging launcher.  


The method to reveal the launcher is not to 'push' against the left edge.  
There's a setting for the sensitivity of this however it doesn't appear to 
actually change anything on my machine.  Setting the sensitivity to max does 
not appear to make the Launcher appear any easier.  No doubt this is still 
being worked on.
