May  8 18:12:30 localhost gdmgreeter[2817]: processed 1 messages

May  8 18:13:28 localhost gdmgreeter[2817]: args for opcode 'G' are 'default.des

Expected results:


Additional info:
gdm.conf is pretty vanilla, and contains by default:
[debug]
# This will enable debugging into the syslog, usually not neccessary
# and it creates a LOT of spew of random stuff to the syslog.  However it
# can be useful in determining when something is going very wrong.
Enable=false
