[greeter/desktop] the password entry is not focused by default

[Sebastien Bacher]

Using current vivid in desktop mode (desktop-next live session or installed), the greeter screen for password has an entry, but this one is not getting the keyboard focus by default, which is annoying since you can't directly type your password then

[HuangZhiquan (huangzhiquan)]

when we start unity8,shell will draw greeter and then draw dash,i think when we look at the greeter,but the focus is on dash,is it?

[HuangZhiquan (huangzhiquan)]

i am confused, we need to wait dash start and then login(unless i will see scopes-splash or black background),but the greeter has shown for a long time before dash start completely

[HuangZhiquan (huangzhiquan)]

forcing textfield to grab focus when greeter lose it(for example dash started will grab focus,or wizard)

raising priority as bug 1588254 (which this bug duped) shows others care and how annoying it is
