Its already reported. See RHBZ # 642943 , the MeeGo problem in general
is being tracked in # 628921

The session is starting and I get some popups (selinux etc) but I get
the white screen, the above bug doesn't seem to affect it too much,
I'm at a bit of a loss where to go from here but the opensuse guys are
seeing it as well with meego 1.1 on opensuse 11.4 so we're not alone.
I suspect some change in some api or similar but I'm really not sure
where to go from here and any help is appreciated. Planning a blog
post about it very soon.

Nope, not fixed as yet, I keep getting told by both parties "soon" but
still no movement. Sort of flies in the face of MeeGo's upstream first
policy and I would love to see the problem closed.
