[gdm-list] FW: Gnome xml parsing error & only allows one login

["Williams, Allen" <awilli08 harris com>]

I didn't see a gnome user's list, so I hope this is the right place to
post.

I'm using Debian Linux 2.4 (sarge) on a 686 platform (Pentium+).

When I select Gnome as my desktop environment, I get an XML parsing
error
dialog, with no close button but a window decoration that lets me close
it.
When I close it, the system just hangs, and I have to CTL-ALT F1 to get
a
console window and kill the X server process.  The error is:

XML parsing error: xml processing instruction not at start of external
entity.
Location: chrome://mozapps/content/profile/ProfileSelection.xul
Line number 1, column 1:

(Isn't THAT  a user-friendly message?)

When I use a KDE session, there is an intermittent error.  Everything
seems
OK until I logout, then sometimes I get a splash screen, like what's
supposed to be the background, but no login dialogue.

TIA
