in addition to the root cause of this, which we're discussing elsewhere,
it occurs to me that this is probably also a bug in firstboot (or, more
specifically, in whatever WM we're using to run firstboot). it shouldn't
span the firstboot window across both displays - even when you can see
both, that's going to look silly. I'll look into this further and file a
bug if/where appropriate.
