Well, I'm 

FreeBSD jclarke-pc.cisco.com 5.1-BETA FreeBSD 5.1-BETA #15: Thu May 8
12:45:49 EDT 2003 
marcus at jclarke-pc.cisco.com:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/JCLARKE-PC i386

And it works.  I'm in the process of converting this machine to GNOME
2.3, so I'll see if it still works after that.  I'll also check on the
PAM thing.  However, gdm should only look at PAM services "gdm" and
"gdm-autologin".
