Find your gdm and move it to gdm.bin and create a bash script in it's place that dumps the env to a new log file alone with the parent PID that called gdm.
On my system this would be like this...
[EMAIL PROTECTED] which gdm
/usr/bin/gdm
[EMAIL PROTECTED] mv /usr/bin/gdm /usr/bin/gdm.bin
[EMAIL PROTECTED] vi /usr/bin/gdm
-- START OF SCRIPT --
#!/bin/bash
LOG_FILE="/tmp/wtf_is_up_with_gdm.log"
# Don't over write it only need to write it once
if [ ! -f $LOG_FILE ]; then
date > LOG_FILE
echo "Called gdm again" >> $LOG_FILE
echo "evn = " >> $LOG_FILE
env >> $LOG_FILE
echo "-------" >> $LOG_FILE
OUR_PID=$$
# This next line does not work with any version of busybox that I have tried.
PARENT_PID=`ps -fp $OUR_PID | grep $OUR_PID | gawk '{print $3}'`
echo "Parent PID of the app that is calling GDM = " >> $LOG_FILE
fi
/usr/bin/gdm.bin $@
-- END OF SCRIPT --
[EMAIL PROTECTED] chmod 755 /usr/bin/gdm
[EMAIL PROTECTED] exit
Then watch to see if you new log file is created. Read what it says. If you can't figure it out post the log here.
