Hi Noah

I don't have a RH8 box handy but you should see something like this
in your /etc/X11/gdm/gdm.conf file:

# User and group that gdm should run as.  Probably should be gdm and gdm
# and you should create these user and group.  Anyone found running this
# as someone too privilaged will get a kick in the ass.  This should have
# access to only the gdm directories and files.
User=gdm
Group=gdm

Make sure that these users do exist on your system and have a non zero
user id.

Good Luck,
Sean
