Title:
  Unity Greeter to support logging in on any display in a multi-monitor
  setup

Status in Ayatana Design:
  Fix Released
Status in Unity Greeter:
  Fix Released
Status in unity-greeter package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  For a multi-monitor setup, the Greeter should be shown on the Primary display (at it's native/last-used resolution) on startup. All other displays show a minimal secondary screen (each at their native/last-used resolution: see the spec for full details on how the resolution of each display is determined on boot-up). 
  The user can log in on another display simply by moving the cursor across to the display they wish to log-in on.
  The Greeter will follow the cursor across to the new display. Keyboard shortcuts are also available to move the Greeter onto another display. Hold down Super and press the number of the display you wish to move the Greeter onto.
  When the user logs in on a display, this display will then become the new Primary display.

  When the Greeter is used for the lock-screen, the Greeter will appear
  on the display which contains the mouse cursor upon locking. Unlocking
  does not affect the Primary display.

  Please see the Multi-Monitor specification for more details:
