Bug Description
Binary package hint: unity
See the attached screenshot.
When an app is fullscreen (fullscreen, not maximized) on a monitor, but another program is focused on the other monitor, then the unity panel is displayed at when it shoudn't be.
I appreciate this probably isn't a priority, but for a future release it would be good seeing as it's the little details that matter.
-------
Desired solution:
- When an app is fullscreen (fullscreen, not maximized) on a monitor, but another program is focused on the other monitor, the unity menu bar should not be displayed on the monitor that is displaying the fullscreen app.
- When fixing this bug, also look at bug #1065425
WORKAROUND FOR THIS BUG:
Turn "Always On Top" on via right-clicking the titlebar of your window, before making it go fullscreen.
This will prevent the Unity panel from rendering on top of this fullscreen-window, when using the other screen.

That's odd, I tried with with banshee and totem and it seems to work as expected for me.
