Package: gdm Version: 2.20.3-1 Severity: normal Hi!
I have a Xinerama setup with two monitors. When gdm starts, it centers the greeter window on the left monitor. However, the mouse cursor is by default centered across the whole screen area, so it winds up outside of the greeter window. Therefore, gdm does not get focus initially and I have to move the mouse over the greeter before entering my user name. That is VERY annoying, and people without a mouse (or who cannot use one) are locked out of their X system. I couldn't think of any nice solution yet, maybe there is a way to grab the focus from within gdm? It's all kind of hard without a window manager running. Open for any ideas, I'm even offering to try and implement them.
