might be useful to look at output of

rpm -Vq gdm

# rpm -Vq gdm
S.5....T c /etc/gdm/custom.conf
.M....G. /var/log/gdm

might be useful to read the man page for rpm

[debug]

# ls -ld /var/log/gdm
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2008-09-29 08:05 /var/log/gdm

I honestly don't know what you are doing with the config/permissions and
