Hmm, still I can reliably reproduce the problem with the final Beta live image. I tried it with several different settings: * run on kvm or baremetal * host video drivers: intel or nvidia * i686 or x86_64 image * (on kvm) different display options (vnc, -vga std, and -vga cirrus) and only with the baremetal cases, re-login works. So I suspect this is an issue of gnome-shell software rendering (mesa or X11?).
