I don't use gdm so all I can offer is the standard shotgun approach I would |
| 15 |
use in the same circumstances. |

First, did you run revdep-rebuild after updating? I do that now every time |
| 18 |
I update the system. |

Second, I would re-emerge gdm. Why? Just because it's easy. |

Third, the amount of gnome configuration data in your home directory is vast, |
| 23 |
and some of it may be outdated. For that reason I keep another user account |
| 24 |
on each machine (I call him "tester"). As root, I delete every gnome-related |
| 25 |
directory in ~/tester so that he can start over from scratch with gnome when |
| 26 |
he logs in. Amazing how many times that has uncovered errors in my own home |
| 27 |
directory. |

Oh, actually I would first check your ~/.gnomerc-errors for anything helpful. |

I find that file is always quite large even when everything seems perfect ;) |
