(see attached image full screen)
I know 'officially' Gnome (Redhat / CentOS) is supported and that Unity is going away soon (in theory) AND guessing that Gnome doesn't put any decorations on secondary displays that take up real-estate...
That said, you can see that the dual monitor mode assumes full screen, then creates a window that is still subject/managed by the window manger (Unity in my example) that pushes the screen down (and if launcher on left side of second monitor, push to right as well). Luckily I can disable the app launcher on 2nd display so I can access things on right side of screen and the pages/views at bottom are still accessible from primary display (somewhat on secondary display as well). This could still have issues on Gnome as well as I haven't tested!
Either a callback to handle screen request to resizing isn't implemented or the code to request placement on-top of normally occupied space isn't done. (not really sure of low level display code, only done a little GTK and Gtk# programming and that under Linux only).
Just thought the developers would want to know!
