I used TDM always in un-themed configuration, so tdmrc is never OEM here.
When I boot with two displays connected, greeter shows up on only one.
When I boot with three displays connected, greeter shows up on two of three.
Are two of three expected? Controllable?

I have three monitors forming a single workspace.
I get one greeter.
Is it possible two of your monitors are displayin the same or overlapping areas of your workspace?

Based upon the following, it doesn't look like it:

However, I don't believe the 45 script executes until the DE session starts. Thus, the greeter appears in center of the 2560x1440 display, while the second greeter appears lower right of center on the 1680x1050 display.
