The problem disappears after I do a strange thing in /etc/gdm mv gdm.schemas gdm.schemas.old mv custom.conf custom.conf.old killall gdm-binary gdm-binary (fails because of missing gdm.schemas and custom.conf) mv custom.conf.old custom.conf mv gdm.schemas.old gdm.schemas gdm-binary From now on, the gdm screen is perfect at each reboot! Do you have the user list disabled? If so, this is probably a duplicate of bug 590456 It may be the case (I'm not sure because I (the only user) did not appear in the user list in FC12 for another strange reason and I'm sure now that the user list is enabled), so this bug should probably be considered as a duplicate. Note that I did play also with the new account dialog and that could have been the reason of my mystery fix. -- Fedora Bugzappers volunteer triage team https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 590456 *** |
