Heh... same thing happened to me. Here is what you need to do:
cd into /usr/X11R6/etc/gdm. There you find your gdm.conf. After the
cvsup, you have (or have a newer version of) factory-gdm.conf. A
comparison showed wha'ts missing. Go ahead and edit gdm.conf. Search for
"PostSessionScriptDir". You should see a path assigned to it. You should
also see a definition of "PreSessionScriptDir". What you don't see is
"PostLoginScriptDir". Go ahead and add to that section following line:
=20
PostLoginScriptDir=3D/usr/X11R6/etc/gdm/PostLogin/
Then restart gdm ("/usr/X11R6/etc/rc.d/gdm.sh stop" and=20
"/usr/X11R6/etc/rc.d/gdm.sh start") and you should be good to go.
Hope this helps,
Frank
