Description of problem: Corrupted screen when starting Gnome-shell from KDM

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

gnome-shell 3.2.0-2
kdm 4.7.2-1
xorg-x11-drv-nouveau 1.0.0.16-27.20110720gitb806e3f.fc16

How reproducible:

Set login manager to KDM and login to gnome-shell

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Change login manager to KDM instead of the default GNOME
2. Login using KDM, selecting Gnome as the desktop environment
3. Corrupted screen appears, then corrects itself when Gnome is fully loaded
  
Actual results:

Corrupted screen appears 

Expected results:

No screen corruption, and a smooth transition from KDM to Gnome. 

Additional info:

I am not certain if this bug should have been filed under Gnome-shell, KDM or nouveau (the video driver I an using).

Video adapter, Nvidia G73 GeForce 7300 GT

Closing this one. No responses from the developer/packager, and the issue seems to have been corrected or fixed. I no longer see the corruption .
