I've never done this, but there are quite a few configuration options in the /usr/X11R6/etc/gdm/gdm.conf that are not in the GUI tool. >=20 >=20 > 2) gdm2 crashes if I go to the configure tool, close, then go to the > configure tool again.

You need to make sure your XftConfig is setup correctly, and you have the latest freetype2. It hardly merits any work now as I'm on the verge of committing GNOME 2.2 which no longer requires GDK_USE_XFT.
