It's been discussed in the archives of this mailing list. It's also in the bug tracking system listings for gdm. And it's in the docs for gdm (found on your machine in /usr/share/doc/gdm). It's a really good idea to check these three places first when you're having a problem with a package like this. Hint (other than looking at those): compare your old /etc/gdm/gdm.conf to the new one you got when you did the upgrade. -c -- Chris Metzler cmetzler@speakeasy.snip-me.net (remove "snip-me." to email) "As a child I understood how to give; I have forgotten this grace since I have become civilized." - Chief Luther Standing Bear
