Hello All,
I had this problem too. Exact same steps to reproduce as Jeremy Manning.
A solution to this is to force GDM to use 96DPI fonts. This happened with
6.10 as well. I am using a dell XPS m1210 notebook, 12" screen, Nvidia
7400.
Steps to force 96DPI fonts:
1) Select 'Administration' from the 'System' menu
2) Select 'Login Window'
3) Select the 'Security' tab
4) Click on the 'Configure X-Server' button at the bottom of the screen
5) Append this argument to the text in the 'Command' text-field: '-dpi 96' (Without the ' marks)
6) Restart your X session to see the changes.
