Description Anders Widell 2006-06-26 09:09:15 UTC

Description of problem:
gdmsetup utility hangs immediately after it has been started.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
gdm-2.15.5-1

How reproducible:
Always.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Uninstall gnome (don't know if this is important)
2. Run gdmsetup
3. 
  
Actual results:
gdmsetup window hangs immediatly after the program has been started. It does not
respond to mouse clicks, and the window cannot be closed using the close button
provided by the window manager.

Additional info:
I am not actually running gnome, just gdm for the login.

This appears to be identical to 193214 which remains unresolved.  GDMSETUP is
unusable in FC6-T1 on my machine and on others who have installed it. It hangs
in both Gnome and KDE and can only be force-quit.  Any workarounds would be
appreciated until resolved.
