I figured out what was happening.
My home directory is NFS mounted to another server machine.
During the last day when gdm logins worked, I apparently installed NetworkControl-gnome.
I'm not sure why, I don't have wireless on this machine. Just futzing around with the new fc8 toy.
For whatever reason, NetworkControl-gnome was causing my eth0 to drop, losing my NFS connection and the home mount.
When I attempted to login with the home mount missing, gdm appeared to freeze.
I removed NetworkControl-gnome and my problem has been resolved.

I recently upgraded from fc7 to fc8, about a week ago.
Today, my gdm login is busted. After I enter my user name and password, gdm just hangs, and never starts up the
desktop.
I have to boot the computer into init 3, login to a shell, then run startx.
I do know what I could have done to break this.
I no longer have a "login screen" configuration entry in system->administration, if that means anything to anyone.
I uninstalled and reinstalled gdm, no luck.
Same issue with any login, including root.
Any ideas?
Jim
