I think I've tracked down a fairly annoying bug with the gdm port.

I install the port on top of the full gnome install, having already created 
a gdm user/group with id's of 92 (I need to do this because ID 91 gets 
taken by the mail/mailman port).

Upon first boot, it is possible to run gdmconfig from the gdm login panel.
   However, after a change is made to the configuration, running gdmconfig 
results in a freeze which requires killing the gdmconfig process from 
another machine.

What seems to be happening is gdmconfig is changing this line from gdm.conf:

Willing=/usr/X11R6/etc/gdm/Xwilling

to:

Willing=

If that config line is blank, gdmconfig will crash.  If I replace the line 
with the original, gdmconfig boots again, but changing the configuration 
results in the line getting messed-up again.

This didn't used to happen with an earlier version of the port.  Is this 
just a bug in gdm?  Is this a bug in the port?
