Bug Description

When connecting an external screen to my laptop, when I suspend the laptop and resume, the unlock screen is presented on the laptop's main display but using the geometry of the external display.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Connect an external display that has a different resolution than the built-in laptop's display.
2. Suspend the laptop, e.g. by closing the lid.
3. Wake up the laptop.
4. The unlock screen asking for a password is displayed on the laptop's built-in display.

Expected behaviour:
The unlock screen uses the resolution of the display where it appears, i.e. the laptop's display.

Actual behaviour:
The unlock screen uses the resolution of the external display while appearing on the laptop's built-in display.
Once the password is entered, resolution reverts to what it should be.
