Xfree requires wrapper but seems to break GDM for user logins. Is this
normal, and can I force un-install wrapper without breaking anything?

Excuse me, I'm a bonehead. You don't need to uninstall wrapper, just change this symbolic link:

/usr/X11R6/bin/X@ -> Xwrapper-4

to this:

/usr/X11R6/bin/X@ -> XFree86

This *will* break 'startx' for ordinary users.  'Wrapper' is intended
to replace xdm and friends to create the .Xauthority in your home
directory.

If xdm/gdm/kdm don't create the .Xauthority file then something else
must do it -- that something else is 'wrapper'.

You don't need to use both gdm and wrapper.
