daemon: warp pointer to convenient place at startup (5.66 KB, patch)

Description Dan Winship 2011-03-09 17:37:32 UTC 
When gdm starts, the greeter and the pointer are both centered on the screen, with the entry for my user under the pointer, and so I immediately get a tooltip ("Log in as danw") that obscures part of the greeter window. This looks bad.
Comment 1 Ray Strode [halfline] 2011-03-09 18:09:16 UTC 
we've discussed warping the pointer for other reasons (as one way to more it more deterministic which head the login window will show up on), so maybe we should just do that to kill both birds.

daemon: warp pointer to convenient place at startup

This makes sure we always start the greeter window in a consistent
place, and it makes sure the pointer doesn't start up on top of
the greeter window.
