To the best of my knowledge, nobody has ported GDM to FreeBSD yet.  As
a matter of fact, the last FreeBSD person I heard from got the exactly
same message.

The GDM source is very POSIXy, so I expect it to be some weirdo
miscommunication between the daemon with the FreeBSD authentication
subsystem.

Debugger output and log files are appreciated.
