I hope that by saying graphical you mean the one with the circles theme (or any other theme), and not just the one showing faces above the username prompt. I guess that I do have some other problems with my machine, gnome-session also doesnt work, with a similar backtrace to the one of graphical gdm. > BTW, you explanation of how you restart gdm is wrong.

Offcourse, it was so trivial that I forgot to mention it, before running any tests I check with ps axl to see if there is anytihng X related running, and even kill -9 if there is need. -- Kesor To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-gnome" in the body of the message
