Why does these appear only on your laptop and not on your desktop computer
? This is weird, don't you think ?

Don't forget to report being affected by this bug on these bug report :
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lightdm-gtk-greeter/+bug/1614474

That would add more visibility to this annoying bug.

That's exactly what I'm thinking. As I'm currently testing the devel
version (the next Xubuntu 16.10), it appears this behavior is fixed in the
devel version. But, I don't understand why because Yakkety Yak and Xenial
Xerus use the same version of lightdm-gtk-greeter.

Anyway, if a fix has been found on Yakkety, that would be great to backport
that to Xenial because it's a LTS, and as you said it could unnerving a
newcomer.
