Bug Description
It makes no sense to have to swipe the lockscreen using a regular mouse...
I know you can just start writing your password, instead of swiping first, but most people don't.
Whenever I install Ubuntu for someone - I will often get calls about this shortly after.
Most find it annoying it seems to me.
Would be nice if it was off by default, or at least an easy option to completely drop it.
Maybe detect if user has touch screen?
PS: This was about Ubuntu LTS (not "launchpad itself"..)
