I track the STABLE tree (release=cvs tag=RELENG_4) and ports tree (release=cvs tag=.) with cvsup. I held off a little while to upgrade my system to XFree86 4.3.0, but did the build last night. I brought everything up to date with cvsup, rebuilt world and kernel, installed, rebooted, and then used portupgrade (portupgrade -rR XFree86) to rebuild X. I also used portupgrade -rR to bring some gnome2 libraries uptodate. All of the builds were successful. uname -a says I am running 4.8-RC pkg_version has '=' for everything. Users and root can do a startx to start gnome2 sessions. Everything works fine. If I enable gdm, then root can login, but users can't. I get an error message saying that the session lasted less than 10-seconds, and to check .xsession-errors. They can't login with the failsafe modes, either. .xsession-errors is empty /var/log/messages has a error: gdm[XXX]: run_session_child: Could not open ~/.xsession-errors I then created a new user, and was able to login with gdm, but I got root's session (shells started in /root, Nautilus brought up /root, etc). I renamed ~/.gnome2/gdm for an old user and the same thing happened. Does anyone have any idea what is going on here? Is this a bug?
