Hello,
Thank you for opening the bug report.  To help us better troubleshoot this can you please provide us with the following:

1) The gdm rpm version.  (rpm -qv gdm)
2) An excerpt (or the full version) of /var/log/secure when attempting to login
3) Attach /var/log/gdm/:0.log
4) Attach /var/log/gdm/:0-greeter.log

Thanks.

Hello Rex,
Per your email I will go ahead and close this ticket out.  Your clean install seemed to solve the issue. However without proper logs and empirical evidence that this was a gdm bug (and not a symptom of say pam malfunctioning), I will go ahead and close this ticket out at this time.

Please feel free to open up another bug report should this issue come up again.

Thanks again.
