User account

[Michael Hill <mdhillca gmail com>]

Running on openSUSE, in a qcow or qemu image, logging in to my user
account from GDM gives me a blank GDM background screen (dark grey)
with no visible controls (ie. the screen is simply repainted without
the top bar and user list). If I blindly click in the top right corner
I get the GDM suspend-reboot-shutdown menu but no other input option
except ctrl-alt-f2.

Logging in as root gives me the desired gnome-shell experience (except
that I'm logged in as root).

I haven't tried a regular account recently on Fedora using the qemu
image, but with the qcow image, the desktop for my user account works
fully. Do I have the wrong permissions somewhere in my openSUSE setup?
