It could be resolution switching causing the issue I guess, I use a 10" notebook that has 1024x600 resolution, but I have that display disabled in favour of a 17" 1280x1024 monitor I have plugged in to the notebook.
Might look into that a bit more at a later stage also, see how it goes just on the notebook's native monitor & resolution.
I think the XFCE forum was where I first saw that solution, been using it for quite a while now, I just have to remember if I unlock while any external dives aren't mounted they'll lose their positions and have to be put back where I want them again.
I think for now I'll stick with using the gtk-greeter for a while.
Even though it breaks the mouse themes & startup with an external drive powered on, I like how it uses the desktop image and like even more how no click is required to enter my password on startup.
I noticed a few times when starting up with the webkit-greeter when I grabbed the mouse to click on my username sometimes I would click by mistake where the mouse pointer was in the default position, and that just happened to be right over the Shutdown button, so I'd have to turn on the PC & wait again.
Only other issue I've found apart from what I've already mentioned is when using the gtk-greeter my setup has a small hiccup if I right click on something in the Menu and go 'Add to Panel'.
It freezes for about 20 seconds, then brings up a message about failing to add to the panel because of a timeout, but in front of that it'll have another box where I can click 'Add' and it then puts the item's launcher on the panel.
