Whoops...I did not have GDM running (was at runlevel 3). If I set to
runlevel 5, then gdmflexiserver returns:
OK /etc/opt/gnome/gdm/gdm.conf
Thanks

Could you tell me where the GDM configuration files are located
on the server and the client?
Also, what does the command:
gdmflexiserver --command="GET_CONFIG_FILE"
return on both machines?

Help! I must have broken something, but I don't know what.
SUMMARY: Suse 10.1, and gdm was working fine on the :0 screen as well
as
on Xvnc. Something changed (or broke), and now the login screen never
comes up on :0, and Xvnc brings up a stippled gray window but never
brings up the login box.
I've run gdm with debug true and have put the output at the end of
this
message. I tried running strace on the Xserver, but gdm seems to try
to
start strace with :0, which wasn't very useful. There are no
iptables-dropped packets anywhere, so not a firewall issue.
I do know that Xsetup is getting called, but Xsession never gets
invoked.
Any hints as to how to debug this would be GREATLY appreciated!!!
Thanks
