Comment 1 Patrick Klingemann 2012-02-07 00:09:02 UTC 
It appears I failed in uploading my attachment.  Please see this gist:

https://gist.github.com/1756047

the relevant lines are probably:

/usr/lib64/gio/modules/libgiolibproxy.so: cannot dynamically load executable
Failed to load module: /usr/lib64/gio/modules/libgiolibproxy.so

Error invoking GConf.add_dir: Failed to activate configuration server: Failed to execute program /usr/libexec/gconfd-2: Success
Comment 2 Patrick Klingemann 2012-02-07 04:11:52 UTC 
my issue appears to be unrelated to GDM, I had some filesystem errors (I seem to be having lots of them in Fedora 16).  I'll close this ticket if I can figure out how :).
