Bug Description
==== SRU Testing ====
- Installed unity 4.24.0 from oneiric-proposed (when it's available)
- Restart your session (logout/login)
- Make sure you have two monitors to test on and both are enabled and *not* in mirror mode. Additionally, make them different sizes (i.e. 1280x800 and 1024x768).
- Confirm you have a panel on both monitors, and the panel works as expected with appmenus and indicator menus.
- Try vertical monitor setup (one above the other), confirm you still have two fully working panels
- In both cases, make sure that at least one panel is showing you the name of the active window, including allowing you to access it's menus. Move the window between monitors to confirm unity is tracking the changes correctly.
=======
I am running Oneiric Beta 1 on a laptop with an external monitor.
When I have an application on the external monitor, and when it has focus, I expect to see the menu bar on that monitor as the global menu. The app name does appear in the upper left as expected, but even when I move the mouse up there, the menu bar doesn't appear. However, the menu bar is active on the laptop screen but it is unusable because the menu bar doesn't actually appear. If you click where the menu bar should be, you get the drop down menus. But the "File", "Edit", etc don't actually appear.
So,
- the app name appears in the upper left of the correct screen, but the menu bar doesn't
- the menu bar doesn't appear on the wrong screen, but it acts as if it's there (i.e,. you can use the menus)
Expected behaviour:
- the menu bar appears on the screen that is displaying the app
- it actually appears when mouse is there

The original entry reported this as happening one way (i.e,. window on external monitor, invisible menu on laptop screen). I am now experiencing it the other way around (i.e., window on laptop screen, invisible menu on the external monitor).
