Description of problem: GDM looks and works fine but when gnome-shell is loaded, the bitmaps/textures are all corrupted. I know there are a lot of bugs about nvidia/nouveau with GNOME Shell that are likely related but I wanted to add this: At least with my particular card (whatever's in a Dell Latitude D620, I can look it up if you need), if I keep the corrupted GNOME Shell session open but kill GNOME Shell, causing it to re-launch immediately, it re-launches and the corruption is gone and all is well. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Installed F15-beta, latest updates as of 4/25/11. How reproducible: Every time. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Simply log in. 2. To fix, kill GNOME Shell and see that corruption goes away _despite_ GNOME Shell simply launching again (e.g. does not use Metacity). Actual results: Corrupted video. Positions are correct (you can tell there's a bar across the screen, for instance) but contents are corrupt (similar to OpenGL texture corruption). Expected results: See gnome3.org and other beauties. Additional info: Killing GNOME Shell causes it to re-launch immediately, and looks correct. Perhaps there's something wrong with the way Nouveau initializes with Gnome Shell?
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 19 development cycle. Changing version to '19'. (As we did not run this process for some time, it could affect also pre-Fedora 19 development cycle bugs. We are very sorry. It will help us with cleanup during Fedora 19 End Of Life. Thank you.)

Are you still hitting this issue on newer versions of Fedora (Fedora 20 or Fedora 21)?
This message is a notice that Fedora 19 is now at end of life. Fedora has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 19. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '19'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 19 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
Fedora 19 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2015-01-06. Fedora 19 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this bug. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
