Primary monitor is an interesting problem. We inside unity have an idea
of a primary monitor which is not directly tied to whatever X considers
the primary monitor. This allows us to easily move it to, for example,
follow the mouse, or window focus.
As we will be showing a launcher on every monitor, primary monitor needs
to be more cleanly defined. Currently I have been working off the idea
that primary monitor will more or less follow the mouse. This matches
the behavior that was shown in the multi-monitor demo (dash open on the
monitor the BFB was clicked on, or the monitor the mouse was on when you
press the super key). Alt-tab also observes this same primary follows
mouse behavior.
