Bug Description
I have laptop connected to external display. I do not use the laptop display. I find it strange that login screen is only shown on laptop display. Ideally the login screen should be mirrored to all displays. What happens after login can remain as is.
Right now, even though I have changed my used settings to use external display only, the login screen is not visible at all on external display. IMHO this is less than ideal way, and I would like to suggest that the login screen is shown on all displays.
