F18, virtualization, gnome, xfce problems and a question

[Gene Czarcinski]

I am having a few problems on F18 running in a qemu/kvm virtual.  I need 
some advice on what data to collect and what package should the problem 
be bugzill'ed against.

1. Install gnome desktop.  The firstboot gui runs and is OK.  After 
login (or maybe even on the login screen), there is no mouse pointer 
visible.  I can move the pointer on and off the virtual's display but 
when it is on it, I don't see anything.  This is certainly repeatable 
for me.

2. Install xfce desktop (by itself or with other desktop managers such 
as gnome).  The firstboot gui runs fine.  Then I get this "strange 
message" at the top of the screen and it keeps blink on-off-on-off... (I 
suspect something is looping trying to start.) Again, this is very 
repeatable for me.

All of the above installs and works fine on real hardware.

The lxde desktop installs and works fine in a qemu/kvm virtual system.

Question:

What is the login screen suppose to look like in F18?  With different 
desktop managers or combinations of managers, a different screen is 
shown.  Are there some screenshots of what it is support to look like?
