administrator accounts. Login text appears on correct screen. Strangely logging
back into the same user works on either screen.

1. Login to kde desktop
2. Select switch user
3. Switch account on screen that isn't primary for the logged in user
4. Enter password

Password invalid

Password accepted, new user logged into. 
Resolvable by inputting same password on primary monitor
