>Description:

Quoting /usr/pkg/share/gdm/defaults.conf:

# This file should not be updated by hand.  Since GDM 2.13.0.4,
# configuration choices in the /etc/X11/gdm/gdm.conf-custom file will
# override the default values specified in this file (installation 
# locations of the configuration files may vary for different distros).
# This defaults.conf file may be overwritten on upgrade, so to ensure
# that your configuration choices are not lost, please make sure that 
# your changes are made only the the custom.conf file.

The pkgsrc rc.d gdm start script mandates the presence of a
gdm/gdm.conf config file. This is now deprecated in favour of a new
scheme (similar to NetBSD's /etc/defaults/rc.conf && /etc/rc.conf),
where entries in a gdm/custom.conf file override default settings.

>How-To-Repeat:

Update pkgsrc Gnome, and look at the default config files for gdm.

>Fix:

Remove the "required_files=" line from the gdm rc.d script.
