GDM startup problem

[Niklas Lundell <nilu demum org>]

Hi all,

I'm having some problems with GDM. It seems to restart itself a couple
of times before it hangs, all without showing any dialog. It doesn't
matter if I use the standard greeter or the graphical one. 

The following error messages are repeatedly shown on the console:

kernel: pid 33991 (gdm-binary), uid 92: exited on signal 6
gdm[33989]: failsafe dialog failed (inhibitions: 0 0)
kernel: pid 33991 (gdm-binary), uid 92: exited on signal 6
gdm[33989]: failsafe dialog failed (inhibitions: 0 1)
kernel: pid 33991 (gdm-binary), uid 92: exited on signal 6
gdm[33989]: failsafe dialog failed (inhibitions: 1 1)

My system is running FreeBSD 5.3 with gdm2-2.6.0.6, xorg-server-6.7, and
gnome-2.8. The system is newly upgraded (using portupgrade) from FreeBSD
5.2.1 (where GDM worked just fine :-)

If anyone has any advice on this issue, I'd be grateful. 

Thanks,
Niklas
