I just read the gnome-devel-list before getting to this. So it looks
like you've got this worked out okay.

Did you install Gnome 2.4 in parallel to your Gnome 2.2? If so, I've
sometimes had problems with two copies of gconfd-2 running, and it's
kinda funny - you change an option in some preferences menu, wait a
couple of secs, and it magically turns back!

I can't help you here. Although I have most of gnome 2.4 compiled and
running from source, I'm still using the default gdm that came with my
distribution.
