I tried to start debugging gdm2 today but got basically nowhere.

I compiled and installed gdm2 with

env CFLAGS='-O -g -pipe' make install

Then I did

gdb /usr/X11R6/bin/gdm
gdb> run --nodaemon

When I typed my username at the gdm prompt, it exited!  This was no 
help, as it was a subprocess of the gdm I was debugging, so it didn't 
help at all!

Any suggestions?  Even if I attach to the gdm subprocess, what am I 
looking for?  Any ideas about where to set breakpoints?

/Joe
