I just installed gdm-2.4.1.4 on my -CURRENT machine, and it works fine.  I
had to merge in some of the new gdm.conf settings, but so far, I haven't
seen any lockups or crashes.  If you're experiencing problems, make sure
you're starting gdm from /usr/X11R6/etc/rc.d/gdm.sh, and try copying
/usr/X11R6/etc/gdm/factory-gdm.conf to /usr/X11R6/etc/gdm/gdm.conf.
