Can you trace down the offender, between the /etc/skel files and
pre exsisting users?

The key bindings well return to thier original bindings (something about
gnome complaince), and appologies for not changeing the docs orignaly to
reflect it being moved to shift-button3 i really didn't know there were
any :(
But whats this about drag and drop, how to reproduce?

Mmm, didn't i package gdm in that load of gnome, i seem to remeber posibly
breaking some i18n support in gdm (actualy commented out a patch being a
pain) and posting here asking for it to be tested (probably specificly by
pablo, but that doesn't rule out anyone listening), but I do remeber
specificly testing gdm vs pam support and that should be working. I will
double check and all that soon.
