I use a plain and up to date opensuse-11.4 Installation on a Apple MacBook Pro
(x86-64). Proprietary NVidia driver with a solution of 1920x1600 (native for
that system).
All works smooth and perfect except one thing:
During the login process (using KDM) the scrren becomes totally "scambled" for
a while. That is after pressing "Login" and before the desktop fades in (which
it does as expected and without and problems or artefacts.

The artefacts shown inbetween appear to be uninitialised parts of video memory.
For a login right after a cold start the look is reproduceable as shown in the
attachment. For a login directly after a logout (without booting) the artefacts
show scrambled parts of what was shown on the screen in the last session. This
is a serious thing, since this is a clear violation of privacy. Pieces of
pictures, login credentials and stuff...

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Boot or login, so you get the KDM login screen
2. enter login credentials
3. hit "Login"
Actual Results:
Screen becomes "scrambled" as described above until the expected desktop fades
in.

Expected Results:
Background as configured.

Though this appears more a less a cosmetic aspect it is actually severe, since
optical parts of a previous private session are exposed.
