If you've still got the downloaded ISO file, go ahead and check to see if md5sum matches what's on the download page. If it's bad, download again and reinstall. Otherwise don't worry about it unless system starts having problems.

Anybody else experience this/have this problem?
I have one laptop that does that all of the time on new installations. The laptop has connections for an external monitor and a TV, but I don't have either of them hooked up to it. For some reason, on initial bootup after a new installation the laptop acts like it's got three displays that aren't properly configured. So it boots to the standard Xfce ugly desktop and mouse logo. I go to Menu -> Settings -> Display and uncheck the unused monitors so only one activated is the laptop screen itself -- then it all goes back to normal. (It's been a while since I've messed with that machine, so can't remember if I got the standard Xfce panels too -- but I think I did.) Once I make the settings change, it doesn't happen again.
No idea if that is your situation or not, but you might want to have a look at Display settings to be sure.
