gdm startup

[Greg Fall <gmf dweezil dynip com>]

After installing the gdm RPM, I stuck

x:5:respawn:/usr/bin/gdm

in my /etc/inittab.  The resulting gdm works, initially, but it
also spawns a zombie gdm, and a zombie X.  When I end a session, X fails
to restart until I kill the parent gdm, but fresh zombies start right on
up.  I'm admittedly not hugely schooled about X authentication and
session management.  What am I not doing right?  TIA
