Bug Description
I have an nVidia TwinView setup. I have my AWN at the top left of my right screen, and my GnoMenu is the leftmost icon on the dock. When I click to open GnoMenu, it appears on the top right corner of the left monitor.
See attached screenshot for a picture of the issue. I'm running the latest builds of AWN and GnoMenu from their respective PPAs.

After playing around a little more, I think the reason for this is that TwinView doesn't allow windows to be drawn between screens at startup. I found that if I move the GnoMenu icon (which is the Ubuntu icon inside the gray ring) one space to the right in AWN, it draws where I would expect it. It looks like GnoMenu is trying to be drawn in the center, under its icon, but TwinView is shifting it to the left or the right, depending on how much of the menu is on each monitor.
The expected behavior would be to see which monitor the GnoMenu icon is on and adjust position accordingly.
