around to test installing f9-alpha so i might need a few dumb

from a fresh install yesterday (and selecting pretty much all the
defaults as a start), when the system came back up, i logged in as
"guest" but got only a blank desktop. totally blank.
i checked bugzilla (i'm assuming fedora "rawhide" version) and
searched on "blank desktop" but nothing came up. has this been BZed?
what would have been a better search criteria? thanks.

Blank as in no Icons, panels, menus or blank as in no illumination?
Gnome came up once with just the background but came up correctly
ever since.
sorry, that was a particularly uninformative description, wasn't it?
just the background, but no icons, panels, menus, etc. just for fun,
i re-installed from scratch, logged in again as "guest", same thing.
but you're saying that's what you got only once and it worked fine
from then on?
i obviously can't log out the normal way since there are no icons, so
i popped over to a VC, init 3, init 5 ... nope, so let's go back to
the VC and reboot ... nope, no change.

p.s. this is installing f9a x86_64 on an AMD-equipped gateway laptop,
if that's relevant.
Did you try this with a normal user yet or just guest? Several people have
mentioned they had to just 'useradd' from a terminal. I don't have guest even
shown on my machines now and not sure what changed; the guest login never
succeeded anyway.
