Why did you opt for the DL-DVI adapter rather than a mini-DisplayPort to DisplayPort cable? I have my rMBP plugged into a Dell U3011 most of the time and this seems like the most straightforward way.

I use an rMBP full time at work as well with no trouble using an Apple thunderbolt display, a 27 inch dell display (via mini displayport), and a fourth 1200p display via HDMI. I'd definitely suggest going for displayport if possible over the finicky DL-DVI adaptors.

ah, I forgot that Dell 3011 has a displayport, thanks for the tip!

Older 30" screens tend to only have DL-DVI ports.
