Description Ralf Jung 2012-06-27 15:34:55 UTC 
I have the cashew to open the desktop menu sitting in the top-right corner of my screen. When I now switch to an external monitor with widgets being locked, disabling the internal one of my laptop, the Cashew stays at its absolute position and it keeps this quarter-circle form, but since the external screen is much larger than the internal one, it now sits in the middle of the screen.
Even worse, when I move the cashew to the top-right corner, lock widgets, and decrease the screen size, the Cashew ends up being outside of the visible area.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Move the Cashew to the top-right
2. Lock widgets
3. Resize the screen (or switch to an external one)

Actual Results:  
The cashew ends up in its quarter-circle form either in the middle of the screen, or outside the visible area.

Expected Results:  
It should behave like in non-locked mode (i.e., stick to the top-right corner).

If for some reason this is undesired, it should at least *never* be outside the visible area, and it should switch the the rectangle from it usually takes when not being in an edge. Currently it looks like a visual glitch.

A screenshot demonstrating the problem

This is how the cashew looks like after increasing the screen size with widgets being locked.
For the decrease, there is not much to show - the cashew is just entirely gone as it is outside of the visible area.
