Re: gdm and fresh freebsd install

["Thrawn" <thrawn hub org>]

Hey Martin,

Im a huge gnome fan, and would rather use gdm than any other dm that I have
run across, so I hope I can help add some freebsd support to gdm in any way
I can!  The bottom line in the debug is the most revealing of them all I
would guess, as it shows that it expects certain input that it does not get
when attempting to authenticate.

Below is the information you requested!
