This has happened to me. My feeling is that it's an xfs / xdm problem.
Unfortunately I can't remember exactly what I did (this was a while back),
but I was playing with xfs and it went away. I do remember the fonts
being different on parts of the login screen when I finally got it to
work. As far as I know, part of the login screen needs xfs served fonts.
Is this correct/incorrect?? Someone probably knows better than me.
