Description of problem: Lately I've seen some strange things with the shaped splash screen when I log in . It doesn't happen every time and while I'm not 100% certain I think it only happened with gdmflexiserver so far. What I see is that the splash screen is "surrounded" by a left over image of the boot screen (the black background with services starting and [OK] messages etc) Not sure this is the right component, but it's the closest I could think of. This is all rawhide from yesterday. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: Expected results: Additional info:
I also see this, but I'm using the "nv" driver. Perhaps it isn't driver-specific?

the splash screen is probably just shaping the window after the window is mapped.
Things were getting hosed when gnome-settings-daemon got started and switched the desktop to use the user's theme (which caused the splash window's style and shape to get reset) Should be fixed in tomorrow's rawhide.
