Public bug reported:

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.
