I have upgraded to the official release of 11.10 and this problem does
not appear.  I think it can now be closed.

Title:
  gdm fails to come up completely.

Status in “gdm” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: gdm

  Description:	Ubuntu Natty (development branch)
  Release:	11.04
  gdm:
    Installed: 2.32.0-0ubuntu14
    Candidate: 2.32.0-0ubuntu14
    Version table:
   *** 2.32.0-0ubuntu14 0
          500 http://ca.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ natty/main amd64 Packages
          100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

  After today's rather large update using recovery boot (update-manager
  known to be sick), proceeded to regular terminal login and called gdm
  using 'sudo gdm'.  Login was OK.

  However, some failure, perhaps with restoring panels caused large
  black areas to appear on the desktop which could not be reversed.
  Mousing around made them worse.

  This is being submitted from low-graphics mode.

  That update was so large it is hard to pin this down, and I hope you
  are able to say what happened.

  BTW, since the update is after the Beta release date, can I consider
  this the beta now or is it still alpha?
