debian gnome sometimes runs in fail safe mode

[Jude DaShiell]

The other times it doesn't run at all.  I'm pretty sure I know why too, 
gdm.conf is not populated and running dpkg-reconfigure gdm only schedules 
a restart of gdm.  I'm cleaning gnome off of this system and don't expect 
I'll be doing anything more with it in the future.  Now I know what that 
howto file doesn't exist, developments are such that it's not ready to be 
written yet.
