Bug description:
  [Impact]

  Using the Unity lockscreen on a multiple-screen session results in the
  password field being cleared every time different screen is focused.

  [Test Case]

  Using trusty candidate on a dual monitor config
  - log into unity
  - lock screen
  - start typing your password on one screen
  - move the pointer on the other screen

  -> the entry is displayed empty

  Ideally the same entry would be move so you can keep typing even if
  you happened to have move the focus, that's what lightdm/unity-greeter
  is doing

  [Regression Potential]

  Any modification to the password dialogs could result in the inability
  to unlock the screen or make passwords available in cleartext.  Care
  has been take to avoind introducing such situations with this change.

  [Other info]

  The Ubuntu 14.04 LTS SRU fix has been cherry-picked from the Ubuntu
  14.10 release, where it has been in production use for a few months.
