Bug Description

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.
