Unfortunately, this bug is still there in Ubuntu Hardy Heron Alpha 5.
Both the login screen (gdm) and the desktop panels do not show up
correctly. Regarding the latter, see the attached screenshot.

My laptop contains the Santa Rosa Platform with the intel i965 graphics
chipset. The problem seems to be the interfering TV output as can seen
by the output of xrandr:

 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ xrandr

As can be seen, the native resolution of the screen is 1280x800 while
the TV ouput is at 1024x768. As can be seen on the screenshot, the
panels are confined to the latter resolution, while the wallpaper spans
the native resolution. The funny thing is that this laptop does not even
have a TV output.
