What's the screen size in XDM/KDM? I would assume it's 1024x768, while GDM >sets it to 1280x800. This was my first thought as well, but it was proven to be wrong. Xserver already starts with 1280x800.

"Is the xrandr output in comment #13 exactly what's printed on this system?"

What do you think we are up to here ? Playing games on each other ?

Hey, you don't have to insult me here. You were testing various combinations with different display managers. It's conceivable that you ran this with GDM where the sessions had the correct display size. RandR reports a size of 1280x800, what xdpyinfo reports I don't know because you didn't attach the output I asked you for.
