It has been real up and down with multi-monitor support in Unity. Now, it has a lot to do with the drivers that you are using, obviously (the open drivers or the binary drivers, which manufacturer, etc., etc.). And different platform/kernel versions have sometimes made it way better and sometimes made it way worse.
I always wait with bated breath when trying out multi-monitor support in Ubuntu. I put my little USB in and start praying. But, these days, it seems to work quite a bit better than it used to. In 12.04 it would randomly deactivate my second monitor, set that off monitor as the main display, and then cause hell with my built-in display on one of my laptops. Ugh! But that went away when I switched to a more recent version of Ubuntu and started using the Free drivers for the display card.
