Fred,
	I upgraded a test F17 system to F18 using fedora-upgrade, and it seemed
successful.  The next thing I did was to install MATE.  After that I
tried to upgrade from nouveau to NVIDIA drivers.  After that I logged in
using the MATE desktop, and saw the same as you are seeing.

I googled the issue and discovered that this has been a problem off and
on since F16, with various fixes and re-apperance of the problem.  The
last resolution of the problem was still in updates-testing on F18 last
I looked.

IIRC, it happens after the first MATE session login after system
startup, though I was not able to limit it to that.  Once it started
happening for me, it continued to happen every time I logged out and
logged back in again.

Check out bugzilla 886029.  It has some information, but not a
definitive resolution, just yet....
