With Enable=3Dtrue in the [debug] key on /etc/gdm/custom.conf, we should be able to see why gdm is dying. My flags are: Installed versions: 3.2.0-r1[1](05:20:40 PM 10/11/2011)(consolekit elibc_glibc gnome-keyring gnome-shell introspection ipv6 tcpd xklavier -accessibility -debug -fprint -selinux -smartcard -test -xinerama) Mmmh. I didn't even know you could remove gnome-keyring from gdm. If you are using GNOME, I don't see no reason to disable it. Maybe try it? Anyhow, the logs from gdm failing should tell us something. I don't think is the video, like Michael suggested; supposedly gnome-shell would detect that.
