Just a followup to myself, a file .xsession-errors has appeared in my
home directory containing
gdmflexiserver: not found
gdmflexiserver: not found
/usr/local/etc/gdm/PreSession/Default: Registering your session with
wtmp and utmp
/usr/local/etc/gdm/PreSession/Default: running: /usr/X11R6/bin/sessreg
-a -w /var/log/wtmp -u /var/run/utmp -x "/var/gdm/:0.Xservers" -h "" -l
":0" "bill"
/usr/local/etc/gdm/Xsession: Beginning session setup...
If other operating systems have damaged your Master Boot Record, you can
reinstall it either with /usr/sbin/sysinstall or with boot0cfg(8). See
"man boot0cfg" for details.
Does this shed any light on the problem
And yes there is an Xsession file in /usr/local/etc/gdm
cheers
