Steps: Install a few desktops, I have added LXDE, XFCE, Gnome and KDE. Goto the lightdm login screen Click the little Ubuntu icon Results: A list of desktops is produced but only about six options appear. Apart from Fluxbox at the top the rest all appear to be various Gnome 3 options and one of the KDE options. LXDE, XFCE and Unity are all off the bottom of the display. There is no way to get to them. Expected Results: The list should be able to scroll Versions: Ubuntu 12.10 fully updated lightdm 1.4.0-0ubuntu2 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lightdm/+bug/1070530/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
