Still not working right today.
I can get in through the backdoor though, so I'm poking around to see if I can 
find out what's going on.
Decided to try the "loging screen" in system > administration. That comes up 
with all options greyed out, so I clicked the 'unlock' button. Nothing happened.
Opened a terminal and gave 'sudo gdmsetup' plus my pwd. Lots of error messages 
and warnings, then same screen and still no way to unlock the settings. See 
below:

===========

Have reinstalled gdm, gdm-guest-session, gnome-session-bin and libpam-
gnome-keyring (basically anything I see when I search for gdm in
synaptic), but no joy.

If there are any logfiles I can check out and post, plz let me know.

cheers
Tom
