I install the port on top of the full gnome install, having already created a gdm user/group with id's of 92 (I need to do this because ID 91 gets taken by the mail/mailman port). Upon first boot, it is possible to run gdmconfig from the gdm login panel. However, after a change is made to the configuration, running gdmconfig results in a freeze which requires killing the gdmconfig process from another machine. What seems to be happening is gdmconfig is changing this line from gdm.conf: Willing=/usr/X11R6/etc/gdm/Xwilling to: Willing= If that config line is blank, gdmconfig will crash. If I replace the line with the original, gdmconfig boots again, but changing the configuration results in the line getting messed-up again. This didn't used to happen with an earlier version of the port. Is this just a bug in gdm? Is this a bug in the port? -- Mark Edwards San Francisco, CA To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-gnome" in the body of the message
