Package: gdm
Version: 2.8.0.6-2
Severity: minor
Hello,
I am using xinerama with 2 screens next to each other (horizontally).
When I use gdm, it appears only on the left screen, which is good because
I don't want the dialog box between the two screens and the themes would
look ugly if they were stretched. But when the mouse cursor is on the
right screen, the dialog box does not have the focus, so I need to move
the mouse before I can type my username and password. And when I start
gdm, the mouse cursor is on the leftmost column of the right screen, so I
am confronted to this issue every time. Could gdm maybe set the focus to
the dialog box without allowing it to leave?
