Public bug reported:

When the unity launcher is set to autohide, new windows still placed right of 
the place the launcher would occupy. This results in a gap between the window 
and the screens left edge (see window_placement_autohide_launcher.png) with 
wastes screenspace.
This bug is probably a side effect of the fix for #688816, to prevent that 
windows cause the launcher to hide.
Whereas this behaviour is correct for the other options, the use of autohide 
implies that this space should  be used for windows. Therefore the windows are 
expected to be created directly on the left edge of the screen.

The system is Oneiric with unity.
