This is going to sound off-the-wall, but would it be possible to have the launcher appear at the furthest left and right edges of the workspace? By proposing this, I assume that having something in the launcher space on the desktop (ie gdesklets or similar) would force that launcher into auto-hide mode.

Obviously this could be "toggle-able", but I think that it could be one of at least three states:

* Left-most only (11.10)
* Left of each display (12.04)
* Left/Right edge of workspace

This third option could answer people who didn't want to travel "all the way left" for the launcher, and also answer people that want to be able to move windows/rodent cursors between monitors without hiccup.

Just a thought.
