My GDM resolution should have been 1280x1024 but my greeters did not
appear properly. Rather, it looked as though the greeter was stretched
to 1600x1200 and I could not see the bottom and right sides of the
greeter. In my xorg.conf I had a line in the screen section:

 virtual 1600 1200

Changing that line to 1280 1024 fixed the GDM greeter resolution problem
for me.

Also, generating a default xorg.conf (without modelines) and adding my
nvidia driver back in by hand fixed the problem as well:

sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg

Sorry if this doesn't seem related, but it looks like the same problem.
I think this is also the same issue as Bug #223613

Good luck.
