Bug Description

Binary package hint: gdm

Karmic allows the second monitor to be involved in gdm... great!

... and when two monitors are set up, gdm detects the resolution of the primary monitor (in my case, 1680x1050) and places the animation on the LEFTMOST monitor, which in my case, is not so.

Therefore, whenever the loading bar pops up, the animation is cut in half by the monitor. (see attached screenshot)

The login window itself correctly selects the primary monitor, just not the loading animation.
