	I am also seeing this issue with a 5.1-CURRENT.  Copying the conf
file did not help.  Gnome seems to run just fine, just gives the error
about not being able to find a gnome session in the menu and then says
it is logging into the failsafe session.  Any other ideas?  Something
else I should look at?  Thanks.
