Design issue, but here is a kludge. It looks like awful however. To make this more aesthetically pleasing, we would need to expand the size of the options button "dead area". Of course, comprehensive design might accommodate for issues such as this (that was a poke to you sab. ;) )
The following lines in /usr/share/gdm/themes/Human/Human.xml need to be changed for the kludge approach: Line 21: <box xpadding="0" spacing="10" orientation="horizontal"> Line 24: <pos y="100%" width="box" height="box" anchor="sw"/> Sincerely, TJS -- gdm default theme fails to follow Fitt's Law ("options" button) https://launchpad.net/bugs/74055 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
