with mutliple monitors, login box doesn't get focus until mouse enters correct monitor

Please describe the problem: I have two monitors on my desktop system with different resolutions (1280x1024 and 1440x900). The login box shows on the square monitor and the inital cursor position is on the widescreen. I can move my cursor all around the widescreen forever and be unable to type in the login box on the other display until the first time the cursor reaches the other screen. Once my cursor reaches the screen with the login box the username text field immediatly gets focus and I can type in it. Steps to reproduce: Actual results: Expected results: The login field should have focus as soon as gdm finishes starting, regardless of cursor position. There should be no need for the cursor to move to the correct screen first. Does this happen every time? Other information:
Are you using Xinerama? If so, this may be the same bug as 327530.
Yeah, that sounds like the same bug. I sure am striking out at submitting unique bugs for Gnome stuff :-/
