Subject:   How to prevent gam_server from running?

Lately, I've been hovering hither and thither when it comes to which
desktop environment I choose when logging in, but several of them seem
to insist on starting gam_server, which is just a real CPU hog, and
once this thing is started, there's no stopping it.

I've looked and looked and still can't figure out how to disable it.  I
can't even figure out where exactly it's being started from.  Whether
it's GNOME or XFCE or what-have-you, at login, some add-on tool
somewhere is launching this thing, and I just plain don't want it!  :-)

Any clues, anyone?  I'm really worn out from trying to solve this one.

Thanks!
