[Bug 850885] Re: (oneiric) greeter screen displayed incorrectly with external monitor during login

 

Adding design team, because the decision about whether to blank, tile,
or scale for the transition between login session and user session when
resolutions don't match will require design team input.

Bug description:
  I am running up to date (as of 15 Sept) Oneirc beta on a laptop with
  an external monitor.  When booting with the monitor plugged in, I see
  the following:

  - what appears to be the default greeter/sign in screen displayed correctly for a second or two
  - a white flash
  - that same sign in screen re-displayed but this time it is only in the top 2/3 of the laptop screen, with the bottom third of that screen blank.

  It functions (i.e., I can log in), but looks shoddy.
