gdm does not start gdmchooser ?!



Hello List

After installing a new version of gdm (1.0.0-9) I have a problem. 
When it starts, I see the gray X root window and a mouse but nothing 
more happens.  A ps gives the following output:

 276  ?  S    0:00 /usr/sbin/gdm 
 283  ?  S    0:01  \_ /usr/bin/X11/X -auth /var/state/gdm/authdir/:0.xauth :0

The /var/state/gdm/:0.log (why isn't it in /var/log ?) tells me:

AUDIT: Tue Aug 24 14:55:40 1999: 283 X: client 1 rejected from local host
Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server
Xlib: Client is not authorized to connect to Server

Why ?

The following directory structure seems ok, too. The config file is the
one that was distributed.

drwxr-xr-x   root     root         1024 Aug 20 17:44 /etc/gdm
drwxr-xr-x   root     root         1024 Aug 20 17:44 /etc/gdm/Sessions

drwxr-xr-x   root     root         1024 May 27 03:10 /etc/gdm/PostSession
-rw-r--r--   root     root         1000 Aug 16 21:13 /etc/gdm/gdm.conf

Any suggestions ?

read you,
