Wow... my monitor is going crazy, flashing like a mad man...

In between flickers, it says "According to /var/run/gdm.pid, gdm was already
running (27444), but seems to have been murdered mysteriously." and my
screen is filling up with them...

Just a guess, but might I also have to edit /etc/X11/gdm/gdm.conf and change
the 0: line in there, as well?

When I do that, it doesn't flicker, but I'm only getting a grey, blank
screen on my VNC viewer... a process listing shows that gdm is running just
fine, and a 'killall -USR1 gdm' is what it takes to get gnome to come alive.
The problem is, then, after the user logs out, the machine has to be
rebooted to allow logins again (killall -USR1 gdm resets it to the login
screen, but won't let the user log in.. just goes to the purple background,
the gdm murdered message pops up on console, and it drops me back to the
login box)

Any ideas?

Cheers!
