For some reason I did not catch the beginning of this thread but
it sounds like what I experienced with gdm2 after upgrading to
XFree86-4.3.0.  The gdmlogin process was eating up memory and causing
swap to be used, which almost _never_ happens on this machine.  I found
that rebuilding/reinstalling fontconfig solved the problem for me.  Give
that a try before reinstalling all of Gnome 2.2.
