I'm having this problem too, fwiw
So, do you mean gdm froze or is it gnome-session that froze?
I'm not sure which froze...sorry. It just froze for maybe one or two minutes, and when I try to start "any" program, whole desktop crash again and I can only see my wallpaper. Then the gnome-panel starts up again, the problem remains.
Very difficult to understand what the problem is. Can you attach your ~/.xsession-errors ? This is almost certainly not GDM. Moving to gnome-session for now.
These 'flaming deaths of the whole system after 2 hours' that I have seen for quite a while in rawhide have disappeared on my system now.
Shaopu, are you still seeing this with current rawhide ?
Sorry, I was busy recently and didn't see the e-mail. Days ago I re-installed fc10, and it's not a problem anymore. It no more crashes. Thanks for help.
