Well, here's something a tad strange, too...  I uninstalled dbus-x11
(and gnome-power-manager and desktop-printing for dependencies), then
reinstalled it (without the other two pkgs).  I was then able to run
gdmsetup without the warning.

[root at osprey ~]# tail -n 4 /var/log/yum.log
Jul 15 18:24:46 Erased: gnome-power-manager
Jul 15 18:24:51 Erased: dbus-x11
Jul 15 18:24:52 Erased: desktop-printing
Jul 15 18:27:57 Installed: dbus-x11.x86_64 0.62-1.1
[root at osprey ~]# gdmsetup
[root at osprey ~]# 

After a reboot, however, the dbus warning is back when I run gdmsetup.
