Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: gdm

The option comboboxes on the bottom panel have a frame that prevents
their activation when clicked on the screen edge. It's easy to overshoot
with the mouse and reach the screen edge (Fitts' law), and clicking
there won't open the menu. In contrast, the button with the downward
arrow works when clicked on the screen edge.

Setting the has-frame property of the combobox fixes this. It does
change the appearance though.

I'll attach a simple patch that does this and a screenshot.

gdm 2.28.0-0ubuntu6, Ubuntu karmic
