Public bug reported:

When I switch from my 10.1 inch netbook to an external monitor, the
unity bar remains the same (small) size, and doesn't adapt to the bigger
screen, see the attached screenshot.

How to reproduce:
-Log into unity on the smaller screen.
-Switch to a bigger screen
-Observer how the unity bar is still the same size, and doesn't expand to the 
full size of the new monitor.

Temporary fix:
Press alt+f2 and run 
unity --replace

to restart unity, after the restart unity will know its on a bigger
monitor and draw the left bar accordingly.
