Re: xdm compliant with gnome?

[Chris Rouch <chris rouch ubs com>]

If you're using the gnome that came with redhat 6.0, upgrade to October
gnome. I had a similar problem with 6.0, where gdm went bad and despite 
trying hints from this list and that I found on dejanews, it never
worked again. Upgrading, in particular to gdm2, fixed this problem.
