After updating my rawhide machine this morning, gdm won't start. It comes up and before all the graphics appear all the way, it restarts itself.
Anyone else seeing this and/or know a fix or work around besides run level 3?
Same here just restarts over and over.
Got around it by Control+Alt+F2, login as root, kill X, login as yourself and startx.

Is /var/log/Xorg.0.log saying something that may help?

No errors in the log, as with startx it works just fine. Below is my /var/log/gdm/:0-greeter.log file that may help show something.

I tried adding the timed login feature to gdm to try and bypass the restarts, so there may be some errors about that in case someone was wondering.

I also noticed, and I am mentioning this in case they are same problem, that when hitting reply, the "Send" Button and the "Attach" button in evolution appear, but the icons/text don't.

I've fixed the blank tool buttons. I doubt that thats the same problem as the greeter, though.

I'm seeing the same thing.
I tried backing out to an earlier version of gtk2 but that was unsuccessful.
So yes, for now it's runlevel 3 and startx which works fine.

I downgraded gdm to the previous build, which looks like the last one built for F-10. Everything else is from rawhide.

Alternatively, update to gtk2-2.15.1-3.fc11 when it comes out of koji.

Above package does indeed fix the gdm greeter screen, as well as the 2 buttons with no icons/text on them.
Good job on the fix and speediness of getting it out there.
