I know I saw this on one of the lists a few weeks ago, but google
as I might, I cannot seem to find the answer.

My gdm process is out of control, taking up all of the processor
power. Right now I am using kill -STOP to freeze it and
kill -CONT when someone needs to log in, but that is no
solution.

Thinking of switching back to kdm, but if anyone can remember
the fix to this, it might be easier.

Thanks.
