What is gnome going to do with gpm? It's X, isn't it? If you are talking about
gdm, gnome display manager. For the current version, you should stay away from
it if you want XDMCP function, last time I tried, it broke.
It's fine if you just wanna use it locally. It gives you with nice face login,
like IRIX on SGI.
