Bug Description
This is exactly same as LP #1120223 which has been closed by mistake:
[How to reproduce]
1. Have a dual screen left-right config, with the Launcher just visible on your main (left) monitor
2. Make your mousepointer move between first and second display multiple times
[What you would expect]
You should feel no barrier when doing that, as there is no Launcher on the right screen.
[What actually happens]
The mousepointer sometimes hangs, when moving between those screens (both directions are
affected, left->right && right->left).
Note: It always hangs once you stay longer than 1 second on each monitor.
It also starts blocking after one second if you move between your screens rapidly.
Workaround (without hacking the code):
Edit unityshell.xml (best copy it to ~/.compiz-
pointer will hang once in 250 hours/once every 10 days after the barrier has been broken.
