Bug Description
Dash jumps from one monitor to another in a multi-monitor environment. There are two ways to reproduce this issue:
-------
First way to reproduce:
1. Open GEdit on the right monitor
2. Open the Dash on the left monitor
3. Leaving the Dash open, click the save button in GEdit
See attached video "dash_jumps.ogv".
-------
Second way to reproduce:
1. Open the Dash on the left monitor
2. Type one character
3. Move the pointer to the right monitor
4. Type another character
Result: The Dash jumps from one monitor to another, this is incorrect.
See attached video "dash_jumps2.ogv"
-------
Current incorrect behaviour: The Dash jumps from one monitor to another, and on the second monitor shows an empty Launcher!
What should happen:
- The Dash should close when the user clicks anywhere that is not inside the Dash on *any* monitor. The click action should trigger whatever was clicked on, e.g. in the case above, clicking on the GEdit "save" button should save the text file and close the Dash at the same time.
- Once the Dash is open, it should *never* jump to another monitor. The Dash should always remain on the monitor it was opened on.
- Fixing this bug will also fix the issue with ghost images of windows that are no longer behind the dash appearing behind the Dash in multi-monitor environments (watch the background behind the Dash in screencast dash_jumps2.ogv to see this issue). Fixing this bug will remove the possibly of the user entering the state where these ghost images can occur.

- "Alt+Space" shortcut to reveal the window menu is not hardcoded, but a
Compiz key option. " (Hold)" should also be translated. Made all
Compiz plug-in names and all Compiz plug-in option names in
- remove unity --reset, it's not anymore really needed now that we are
in stable days of unity and we moved to gsettings
- Removed the variables 'oldPrev' and 'oldNext' which got assigned the
