See my other message about preferences.

The problem occurred because not enough of the gdm1 processes were
killed when I logged out in the transition between gdm1 and gdm2.  In
particular, gconfd-1 was still running and preventing gconfd-2 from
running.

It appears that the only reliable way to actually transition between
gdm1 and gdm2 is to reboot.
