Hi Charlie,
A GDM update was released yesterday(ish) with details in the release
notes that may explain the problem you are seeing. The announcement is
here:
http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-announce-list/2004-February/msg00010.html
If this does not resolve the problem, you should be able backout the gdm
update by re-installing the gdm rpm on your Fedora media. You need to
tell rpm that it is okay to install and older version of gdm. Have a
look at "man rpm" for the full picture.
Cheers, Ben
