Options button in default Ubuntu gdm login screen does not obey Fitt's law

[Christian Hudon]

The default Ubuntu login screen in Dapper puts an option button in the lower left corner of the screen. However, the region for that button extends almost (but not quite) to the lower left pixel of the screen, making access to that button with the mouse slower than necessary.

It'd be nice of the region for the option button could be stretched up to the lower left edges of the screen.

probably a theme issue

This should be re-evaluated for Feisty.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. You reported this bug a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering is this still an issue for you? Can you try with latest Ubuntu release? Thanks in advance.

Yes, it's still an issue in hardy. Whoever makes the Ubuntu login theme for gdm just needs to stretch the region where the menu is activated in the screen to the lower left edge of the screen.
