Package: slim
Version: 1.2.6-1
Severity: wishlist

Hi

On two-screen setups, slim is centered across the screens. This means
that parts of the login dialog will appear on screen 1, other parts on
screen 2. Instead, slim should offer a config setting about which screen
to be displayed on, just choose screen 1 by default or show the dialog
on both (all) screens.

Regards
Stefan

Version: 1.3.0-2+rm

You filled the bug http://bugs.debian.org/459260 in Debian BTS
against the package slim. I'm closing it as fixed in *unstable*,
but it will remain open for older distributions.

For more information about this package's removal, read
http://bugs.debian.org/538921. That bug might give the reasons why
this package was removed and suggestions of possible replacements.

Don't hesitate to reply to this mail if you have any question.

Thank you for your contribution to Debian.

This bug is still present in all versions up to V1.4.0 from the fork 
project. There is an upstream ticket for it at 
https://sourceforge.net/p/slim-fork/tickets/3/

I've just committed a change upstream that should fix it for the next 
release.
