F9Alpha GDM screen buttons do nothing, etc.

[Gerry Tool]

I just installed F9 Alpha from the DVD.

1.) The FirstBoot did not ask to set up a user.  I had to log in as
root and define my user account'

2.) The Guest person on the GDM screen starts to show a desktop and
does nothing after displaying the background.

3.) The Suspend, Restart and Shutdown buttons on the GDM screen flash
when selected, but no action occurs.
