Bug Description

Mouse/touchpad buttons only work for left button. There is nothing in the options list that requires usage of the alternate button; as such we sould be able to select options using *either* button.

This is specially felt if you have your desktop environment configured for left-handed usage -- and when you are trying to use the login options, your (automatic) mouse click does nothing.

Yes - I've noticed this too. I agree that either mouse button should work.

Should this be filed under lightdm, or lightdm-gtk-greeter?

I'm assuming this is referring to unity-greeter - if not please reassign to the greeter this refers to.
