 Ah!  I see what's going on.  In the past, we enforced gdm to be uid 91,
 gid 91.  This is probably not necessary since we're creating the gdm user
 and group.  The attached patch should fix the problem with the build.  If
 you don't want to reinstall, just do:
 
 chown -R gdm:gdm /usr/X11R6/share/gnome/gdm
