Yeah, I need to update the wiki; something changed in gnome 2.30.  the
symlink needs to be moved to /usr/lib/gdm and still point to the same
place it did before.  I don't think we need the one in /usr/liexec
anymore.  I discovered that issue with the recent updates to gnome
2.30 on Arch a couple weeks ago.

Try that and see if it works for you.  When I made that change, I
seemed to have some problems at first but that seems to have cleared
up since so not sure if anything else needs to be done.  As is, I
almost forgot what I did to get gdm to work again.  

Actually, since then, I've gone back to using startx from a normal
user account to get xclip to work right.  But that's another matter
for another thread. <smile>
