It may not be helpful at all, but I was having a similar problem and had to change a line in xorg.conf which you may or may not have. Honestly, I don't know how the line got there (I suspect it appeared during the Hardy install, but I am not sure).
Anyway, my GDM resolution should have been 1280x1024 but my greeters did not appear properly. Rather, it looked as though the greeter was stretched to 1600x1200 and I could not see the bottom and right sides of the greeter. In my xorg.conf I had a line in the screen section: virtual 1600 1200 Changing that line to 1280 1024 fixed the GDM greeter resolution problem for me. Is there any possibility these are related? Good luck. Do you have a modified xorg.conf? If you don't, another solution which appears to fix the gdm greeter problem is to generate a new generic xorg.conf using sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg Sorry if this isn't at all related. It seems similar to my problem, though so I thought I would chime in.
