[Bug 1285678] [NEW] Incorrectly positioned user interface elements with dual-screen setup and different screen resolutions

[Nightfall]

Public bug reported:

When an external screen (1920x1080) is attached to my netbook (1024x600), the user interface elements on the netbook's login screen are positioned incorrectly: The user selection/password entry box is located near the lower right corner of the screen instead of centered; shutdown/... buttons are not displayed.
Positioning on the external screen is correct - user selection in center, shutdown/... buttons in lower right corner.

It looks as if for both screens, 1920 x 1080 was taken as reference for
user interface element positioning.

(Might be a general lightdm problem, did not test other greeters ...)

Potentially related: during boot, Plymouth's Kubuntu logo is displayed
correctly (centered) on both screens; shortly before switching to the
login screen, on the netbook screen it moves to the lower right corner.
