Bug Description

As it seems that the primary display is decided by the first enumerated one, there are chances that in some multi-monitor setup, the greeter would be shown up on external monitors. This will create inconsistency for laptop users, who usually expect the greeter GUI to be shown on their laptop screen.

Thank you for your bug report, could you provide some details though?
- what distribution and lightdm version do you use?
- what greeter do you use?
- what's your setup?

in the current version lightdm,unity-greeter the greeter should be displayed on all screens and the userlist on the one which has the mouse focus set

Changed in lightdm:
importance: Undecided → Low
