gdm[####]: (null): cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory



I'm stumped by this gdm error/warning message in /var/log/messages. It doesn't specify what library is missing. However, I'm able to login to the desktop without any problems. I thought if I updated the gdm rpm the message would disappear but it did not.

I've searched many a website and forum without finding a specific answer to this problem. The other strange thing I see is that gdm has two processes running once I enter the desktop. Maybe this could be the cause, I don't know, just a guess. How can I eliminate this second gdm process at startup? What could be the thing that is spawning it?

# ps -ef | grep gdm
root 2188 1 0 03:28 ? 00:00:00 /usr/sbin/gdm-binary -nodaemon
root 2254 2188 0 03:28 ? 00:00:00 /usr/sbin/gdm-binary -nodaemon
root 2258 2254 2 03:28 tty7 00:00:08 /usr/bin/Xorg :0 -br -audit 0 -auth /var/gdm/:0.Xauth vt7
.
