Try downloading and reinstalling the previous gdm, which is gdm-2.20.1-7.fc8 gdm-2.20.2-2.fc8 has re-created this bug: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=379511 It's not exactly the same as what you report, but perhaps it's related. Therefore, if you downgrade back to gdm-2.20.1-7.fc8 and it works again, you might want to add a note about it to the above bug report. -- MELVILLE THEATRE ~ Melville Sask ~ http://www.melvilletheatre.com
