I had the exact same problem - removing redhat-artwork wanted to remove gdm which I needed for autologin. You are correct that xdm does not support autologin. I am also running FC1 and the FC2 package for redhat-artwork doesn't seem to be causing any problems for me so far. I performed exactly the steps that you are asking about - remove redhat-artwork via apt-get, install the redhat-artwork FC2 rpm individually and then use apt-get to reinstall gdm and any other needed packages that were removed. FYI, I believe my apt-get remove of redhat-artwork also removed xine, xine-libs and mplayer so check what it's removing so you know what you need to reinstall. Also, when apt-get removes the gdm package it will save your gdm.conf as /etc/X11/gdm/gdm.conf.rpmsave. When you reinstall gdm make sure to copy gdm.conf.rpmsave to gdm.conf so your gdm config will remain intact. Brad
