While mucking around in gtk/gdk, I discovered a better workaround for this bug. While logged in as some user with sudo access, run the commands:
echo "GDK_CORE_DEVICE_EVENTS=true" | sudo tee ~lightdm/.pam_environment sudo chown lightdm:lightdm ~lightdm/.pam_environment This ensures that the next time any one of the lightdm greeters are run, it will have an environment variable named GDK_CORE_DEVICE_EVENTS set. This in turn causes gdk to disable its use of XInput2, thus avoiding this bug. Once those commands are run, xsetroot and friends should work upon the next login.
