Screenshot of messed up gdm-greeter screen

Description of problem:
If I have my Lenovo X200 "docked" with the laptop lid shut when I boot or when I logoff, the gdm-greeter screen is not displayed properly.  

I get the usual gdm-greeter screen if the system is undocked with the lid open.

I attach a screen shot.

I also attach my Xorg.0.log and output of 'dmesg'.

My system is a Lenovo X200.  The Display is an HP L2208w.

If I ignore the messed up display and enter a CR followed by entering my password, gnome session starts and about 10 seconds later the screen "corrects" and my gnome session is as expected.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
gdm-3.1.2-2.fc16.x86_64
kernel-3.0-0.rc4.git0.2.fc16.x86_64

How reproducible:
Happens every boot and every login.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Boot (or logout)
2.
3.
  
Actual results:
Messed up gdm-greeter screen

Expected results:
Expect to see nice picture ;)

:0-greeter.log for session with messed up greeter screen

This continues to happen every boot/login.

Just in case its useful, I'm attaching the /var/log/gdm/:0-greeter.log (and below, the :0-slave.log) for such a session.

Today's koji/Rawhide updates appear to have fixed this.

Not sure which one (listed below): kernel?  gjs?

I'll let this settle for a day or two, and then close this.
