DisplayLink and Gnome Shell

Following https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/DisplayLink I can get my external monitor to work.  After restarting I came across the issue of the login window being off screen and applied the following code to /etc/gdm/Init/Default (according to http://libdlo.freedesktop.org/wiki/Ubuntu9.04):

XRANDR=`gdmwhich xrandr`
if [ "x$XRANDR" != "x" ] ; then
  $XRANDR -o 0
fi

Restart X and the login screen is centered and I thought all was well, until I log in.  My wallpaper changes and then nothing happens, I don't get a panel at the top of the screen.  Switching to another console and doing ps -A | grep "gnome" shows no indication of gnome-shell even starting.

Any ideas?  Not sure what log would be useful to post, but I can get them if you need them.

Thanks!
