Canek has suggested we attack the gdm problem (see other msgs in this thread) and that is the current plan. Unfortunately we are still not there. In bug 385525, those who needed -gnome-shell for gdm could then not get gnome-shell to run (i.e., just like me). It does seem that many are successfully running gdm so I must have something wrong in my setup. What use flags did you build gdm with.
