Found the problem.
I had sucked in "rhn-setup-gnome" when I was merging the comps.xml file.
In the alpha, the problem had been that pirut was pulling it in.
I find the rhn stuff irritating during the firstboot, so expect a beta 1.1 
soon.  I am triple checking to make sure that nothing else pulls in the 
rhn-setup stuff.

Is this really a monitor issue, or a video card issue, or a combination of them 
both?
I personally use the monitor= line in kickstart, and it works correctly for me. 
    I have a set of computers that I have to use it or else things turn out ugly.
But I do not have a nvidia video card.  I also do not have that particular monitor.
I do not want to put a "known issue" when I'm not sure what the boundries of 
the known issue are.

If you can narrow down where the problem is, I will put it into the known issues.
