Affects: gdm (Ubuntu)
       Severity: Normal
       Priority: (none set)
         Status: Unconfirmed

Description:

My setup is a Xinerama setup, GDM therefore (correctly) displays the login screen on one of my displays.

When GDM first starts up, the mouse pointer is just outside the window.
The gdm window doesn't have focus, so I have to nudge the mouse a little
bit so the pointer points inside the gdm login screen and focus is
automatically given to the username field.

This used to work correctly in Breezy, but is broken in current Dapper.
