[Bug 669730] [NEW] Buttons in gnome/gdm left-handed user 'lock screen' react only for left mouse button

[Wawrzyniec Niewodniczański]

Public bug reported:

Recently, I have change my mouse setting to be 'left-hand mouse' in
Gnome (Ubuntu 10.4.1 LTS). After that my family  found they cannot
switch user using "switch user" button if I was the person who had
locked the screen. I investigated situation  a bit further and found
that I  had to click right mouse button rather than left (standard one)
to initiate any action.

This is ridiculous, because you cannot expect people to know (and
remember) mouse settings of all other user having account  on that
computer. On the other hand, on the 'lock screen' one button is enough,
so the best resolution will be threat all buttons as 'main' one (or at
least do not differentiate the left and right one).

** Affects: meta-gnome2 (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: New
