Ok, what might cause gdm-dynamic not to start a display for a
unit? It appears that the SRSS has given it a display (:11) 
according to utsession -p:

Ok that symbolic link is correctly pointing to xmgr/gdm:

lrwxrwxrwx  1 root sys 24 2006-04-07 11:54 /etc/opt/SUNWut/xmgr ->
/opt/SUNWut/lib/xmgr/gdm

Yes, I am using gdm-2.4.4.7.1 that came with SRSS3.1.
[EMAIL PROTECTED]> rpm -qa|egrep gdm
gdm-2.4.4.7.1-3

Is there any way to try and figure out what gdm is doing 
and where it is going wrong? I tried to strace the gdm-binary
process but did not see anything obvious.

Any hints?
