20060722 rawhide: broken gdm, xinit

[Jay Cliburn]

With today's rawhide updates, the following packages resulted in a 
nautilus-free login session.

gdm-2.15.6-13.x86_64.rpm
xorg-x11-xinit-1.0.2-7.fc6.x86_64.rpm

All I got was an empty desktop with a functional mouse.

Reverting to gdm-2.15.6-9.x86_64.rpm and 
xorg-x11-xinit-1.0.2-6.fc6.x86_64.rpm returned things to normal.

It's not just nautilus...  metacity and gnome-panel don't start either. 
  And after about five minutes in an empty desktop, Xsession falls over.

Try moving /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/localuser.sh out of the way. I
think that's what fixed it for me.

    Today's updates also rewrote xorg.conf.  After tryin to revert 
to a backup copy, starting X from lvl 3, an such didn't work, I 
booted Mandriva an d/l'd current -test mesgs. Yours was a 
lifesaver.   THANKS!  

    I copied the i386 FC6-test1 gdm an xorg-x11-xinit rpms to hdd, 
logged in as root an --forced them in.  An X, kde then started 
normally.  I suspect it's only xorg-x11-xinit that broke X tho.
