The text is oversized on my laptop (15.4")
everything is out of place. But once I'm logged in everything is normal.

Re: Login screen text is oversized.
The 'likely' cause is in the [X-*-Greeter] section of the kdmrc file. I'm not on II - using HH KDE 4.1.2 - but if things haven't changed to much ...
Open a console and type:
Note the location, which probably is /etc/kde4/kdm/kdmrcCode:sudo find / -mount -name kdmrc
In the console, type:
and look for the section beginning [X-*-Greeter]Code:more [path to file from above]/kdmrc
and the line:
GreetFont=Serif,20,-1,5,50,0,0,0,0,0
It's quite likely that the font size (the number after the font name) needs to be reduced. Mine - Serif,20 - is quiet acceptable.
If you find the entry is a much larger number, edit the file as root and make the number smaller.
