Title:
  multihead: login prompt does not appear on the screen where mouse
  cursor is until it moves

Status in Linux Terminal Server Project:
  New
Status in “ldm” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I have a tri-head setup. The login prompt (for enering
  username/password) appears on the leftmost screen, even though the
  cursor is placed in the middle screen at the start.

  Ldm tracks mouse movements as to display the login at the screen where
  the mouse is, but this does not happen until the mouse moves. As soon
  as the cursor moves (even by a pixel), ldm detects that and places the
  login onto the middle screen.

  Ldm should find cursor position at the very start and put the login on
  the appropriate screen right away.
