Bug Description
[Impact]
* In short, the cursor can't move beyond one screen when a server is running multiple X screens. The bug has been fixed upstream.
* The impact of this bug is medium/high and after discussing it with a member of the Ubuntu Desktop Team it was agreed that we should land this fix into quantal-proposed.
* The upload will fix this bug by working around scaling issues during WarpPointer.
[Regression Potential]
* There is the possiblity the cursor could get stuck on the second screen
