The first time I logged in after installing F8, the background picture covered the entire screen but the top menu bar and bottom task bar only extended about 2/3 the width of the screen and the bottom task bar was not at the bottom of the screen but about 1/2 the way up.

<div><br>I've got sort of the same problem with the Xorg version as shipped with Fedora 8. Seems to be related to a lot of changes to the Xorg radeon r300 driver.<br><br>Can you post the output of "xrandr" to check there's no second monitor detected?
<br><br>It's documented (including a workaround) on <a href="https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=389291">https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=389291</a><br>
<br>Still, it's also a Gnome desktop problem since the menu bars on the first monitor seem to get the locations for a random resolution on a non-existent monitor :|<br><br>Klaasjan<br><br></div></div>
