Description Martin Meyer 2006-03-16 07:56:16 UTC
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?

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 :-/
