It was reported against gdm.  I have reassigned to GNOME Shell.  Can you
create a new user and see if the problem persists?  Is this a fresh
installation or a upgrade?

-------------------------

This was a fresh install replacing a Windows XP system.  I reformatted
the entire available disc space during the install.  Actually, I did a
fresh install twice, first time this happened I could not find a
reference to it so I thought it was something I might have done.  Second
install had the same symptoms.  I also tired a LiveCD and got the same
symptoms. 

I have added new users via the kde interface and then tried to use
gnome3, but received the same "Oh No!"  KDE seems to work fine.  I did
not add new users via the terminal interface.  I have changed monitors
without a change in symptoms.  My current thought was pointed at a
failure to communicate with the video card in the Dell 8250.
