Description JP Rosevear 2005-11-22 19:16:57 UTC 
The Xsetup script does:

test -x p=${gnome2root} 

as part of its check for the existence of gdm for background handling, and this fails.  The can be seen by the fact that the xdm background flashes before gdm displays.

test -x ${gnome2root}

seems to work.

Note also that these days gnome2root should really be /opt/gnome/sbin but for now its fine since there is a symlink in place for compatibility.
