Mint login password field @ monitor lower, left- but lock screen & restart "fields" are both centered
by LenHoff from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5Q056)
I take it that the boot time login (enter PW) field should use the same settings as the restart & lock screen fields (for entering PW) should all be in the same position, since they're all using /etc/lightdm/lightdm-gtk-greeter.conf.d.
But the login field after boot, is at lower left of monitor - not sure why. I've never messed w/ it.
NOTE: my syst. has no FILE named "/etc/lightdm/lightdm-gtk-greeter.conf.d." It is a folder, that contains file: 99_linuxmint.conf.
This is "99_linuxmint.conf" contents:

Where ever the entries for lock screen & restart / shutdown get their position instructions, it appears different than initial login.
In /usr/share there is a folder, lightdm.conf.d (but no files w/ partial names "Gtk-greeter".
I read about a lightdm test / debug tool https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Lig...abling_LightDM
The tool was already installed & when I ran it, it shows a "mini" image of the desktop & the initial login box - in position related to any Mint logos, etc. On that screen, the login box seems in the right place.
But LightDM test tool, loaded 6 - 10 conf files, EXCEPT /etc/lightdm/lightdm-gtk-greeter.conf.d/99_linuxmint.conf.
It doesn't appear to be using the file from only folder mentioning "gtk-greeter.conf.d".
I'll have to reboot & see if it shows the "real" PW entry field near center of the screen.
