Bug Description
This is not a bug but a problem about dash usability. In 11.10, Unity dash timeout to show has been made faster (or at least that's the impression i got). That's a good thing.
But... application leftmost buttons are too close to the left screen border when the window is maximized, for example, Chrome back button. So, when i want to click the back button, maybe 60-70% of the time the mouse pointer gets too close to the border and the dash shows :(
NEEDS DESIGN: What should be done to not get the launcher to un-hide unexpectedly? Increase the timeout? Or something else?

So, i decided to move the dash to the down side of the screen, to solve this problem... but, wait, I can't! Honestly, what were you Unity authors thinking? Maybe i didn't think of an obvious solution to solve the problem i reported above. In that case, please give some hint. If not, please make dash configurable.
