On my laptop, the login is displayed on both the 1920x1080 laptop screen
and the 1680x1050 external display-port monitor for about half a second.
Then both screens abruptly go blank, and shortly afterwards the login
reappears on the laptop monitor. It doesn't matter if I'm typing the
password at this point (the characters are not lost or anything). It's
just rather disconcerting.

The laptop screen is sized correctly to the native resolution with the
latest lightdm - before it was being resized to the 1680x1050, like the
external monitor.

Bug description:
  Upon booting with an external monitor (1920x1200 resolution) hooked up
  to my laptop (1920x1080 resolution), the external display mirrors the
  laptop display, but garbles the screen (see screenshot).

  Using GDM, the external display is treated as extra screen space
  (greeter appears on laptop screen only), and is not garbled
