This was observed with both a RadeonHD 7750 and Intel HD4600; both using
stock opensource drivers/mesa et al. Two separate machines, btw. I'm
afraid I sold my nVidia card that I used to use, but the fact those
can't drive more than 2 monitors at once means I wouldn't have chosen
the configuration that revealed it in the first place (ie: wanting
launcher only on middle of three monitors). I suppose it's possible that
nVidia's TwinView may be having an effect, if it means the logic of how
it handles multi-monitor is reflected up at the levels at which Launcher
is coded. (In that case Nouveau might show it.) But remember from
earlier observations: this only occurs if the launcher is placed on one
screen, not all of them, and that the screen it's placed on is *not* the
one on the left.

Is clearly a bug :-) Can't possibly be a design feature a: that the
launcher behaves differently on different monitors of a multi-monitor
setup, and b: that it works correctly exactly once per session. *Never*
working would at least imply malign design choice! ;-)

Also, it didn't happen in Saucy. I'd had that Launcher-in-the-middle
config for some time before the upgrade to Trusty beta.
