I have a different problem with GDM2. I am running the
latest development kernels. Unfortunately, the way
shrmem works has been changed. Now, prebuilt GDM packages

installing it from CVS

So, no one knows how to fix GDM? That's too bad. I was hoping
that updating to Debian unstable would eliminate my needs for Red
Hat. Looks like it's back to stupid old RPM...
