Ok, I got the GDM startup issues resolved, however, another issue has presented itself. It is not a problem that is hindering the usage of my system but when I log in as root I get an error stating that the XKB failed to load. I can still type and I ran the commands it asked me to do if I wanted to report it as a bug, but I can not find XKB anywhere on my system. Any Ideas? Also, if a normal user logs in they get the error 5-6 times and have to click close.
I also have a question. Can someone describe to me how to connect to another machine using an X GUI from the machine I am currently on. They are both configured to use XDMCP, but I am a bit of a newbie, as I am sure you can tell by my posts! :-)

This sounds like the notorious xkbrules bug - https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=120858 and MANY duplicates.
In /etc/X11/xorg.conf (or perhaps /etc/X11/XF86Config[-4] if not updated totally) change the line
Option "XkbRules" "xfree86"
to
Option "XkbRules" "xorg"

One question to a customer!!! ;^)
OK, one way is to use ssh - this may help: http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/XDMCP-HOWTO/
