I'm using 2 monitors with Ubuntu 11.04 and can't for the life of me figure out how to move the Unity Dash/Taskbar/whatever to where I want it (the far left side of the left monitor). No matter what I do it remains on the left side of the right hand monitor. Has anyone else figured out a way to achieve this?

In Ubuntu 20.04, it's under Settings > Appearance > Dock > Show on:
Install disper by clicking here or type sudo apt-get install disper in a terminal
Create a new launcher by right clicking on your desktop and selecting "Create Launcher..." Set the name to whatever you want, and the Command to disper -d auto -e
Click Ok
Whenever you plug in or unplug your external monitor, just double click the launcher icon.

The Unity launcher only appears on the primary monitor. You can adjust the monitors in the Monitors application (available from the Dash) to reconfigure your monitors accordingly.
