default screen

After the installation of RHEL6.1 Alpha(2.6.32-118.el6.x86_64) with X on Huron River[1], the desktop seems default set to be expand screen with no panels and desktop icons[2]. 

Mouse works correctly and able to create folders on the desktop and drag it out of the screen from leftside while keeping the new folders name still in ~/Desktop.

I have installed it on Surgar Bay[3] as well. no such issue happens.

After getting out of the expand screen by changing resolution, I can see the panels and notice that:

[1] there is laptop battery icon in the panel 
[2] there are two monitors: one is the monitor I use through VGA connection 
and the other is the monitor "Laptop"

I guess this issue may caused by I was using the SDV(software development vechle) for Huron River test but the default output is the build in laptop monitor, so my VGA monitor is configured to be expand screen.

I will find a product laptop to see whether this issue disappears or not

We are able to install RHEL6.1 Alpha Client i386 image on Lenovo v470G-ISE. The expand sreen issue is verified to be disappeared.
