Comment 6 for bug 413348

Hi, this is with xsplash 0.6-0ubuntu1 (after updating the system tonight).

Things seem to have improved. I'll try to describe the steps in my PC from GDM to Gnome session fully loaded (I'll make a video of it too).

After choosing user and typing password, xsplash shows its image (the default background in Karmic) in 1024x768 resolution (that of gdm screen).

After 2-3 seconds screen goes black and inmediately adopts session's resolution of 1152x864. Background image is still 1024x768, so it goes left-top aligned in the screen, leaving stripes of black at right and bottom of screen (the parts not covered by the image).

Then, after a moment, those black strips get painted in somewhat a similar color to the background image (though it's still discernible the image and the stripes of color).

After another few seconds, gnome's panels appear, then session's background image is painted by nautilus, and after 1 second or so this image is replaced by a solid light grey color (same as that of panels).

Desktop continues loading, and after 2 or 3 seconds background image reappears, with a nautilus window I usually keep open (restores session), and I think desktop loading is finished.

Sorry if this is confusing. I'll make a video of it with my photo camera, so that you can judge better what happens.
