[gdm-list] trying to understand debug of gdm login problem on FC9

["Xavier Toth" <txtoth gmail com>]

I can login in as root but not as a regular user on FC9 and I'm trying
to understand where the failure is. It looks like the session starts
and then immediately exits with a strange error code "1#012" but I'm
not sure what this means. An ideas about what I can do to track down
the failure? One thing I should add is that I'm using SELinux and am
polyinstantiating /tmp for all users other than root. What happens
when polyinstantiating is that the directory is bind mounted on
another directory during the pam session creation. I've successfully
run this configuration on RHEL5 and previous versions of Fedora.
