Re: [gdm-list] Adding sessions to gdm in FreeBSD

Glad I was able to help.  Yes, I'd imagine a kernel panic on logout 
isn't related to GDM...but if you find that it is a GDM problem,
then let me know and I'll be happy to help.

I haven't heard of any other people having the sort of troubles
you describe with the kernel panic, just so you know.
