Ubuntu unity menu bar problem

[smirnov-vs]

If you'll move unity bar to bottom, guake would not be full width.

Untested but something like this should fix it:

I run a setup with dual monitors. Guake on the left monitor and unity launcher on the right monitor in the left position. It doesn't appear the current code accounts for a screen with no unity launcher. At least in my situation, a quick workaround is to comment out the width correction code.
