problems with gnome2-snaps on very fresh 7.3 install

I started with an RH7.3 install of just the absolute minimum (no
optional packages installed), and then wgetted my way to just enough X
to run red-carpet.  (And I installed ssh-server.)

Then I did the RC updates to my 7.3 install (ssh and glibc), and subbed
to the gnome2-snaps channel.  I installed most stuff there, but not
sawfish2 (I just wanted metacity).  All the panel and desktop and gdm2
stuff came in fine.

I got the nice gdm2 chooser, but logging in as a fresh user immediately
ended my session and gave me the .xsession-errors dialog.  Looks like it
wants some session files from /etc/X11/xdm, but I don't have xdm
installed.

If I manually select the GNOME or Failsafe GNOME sessions, I get a
gnome-settings-daemon crash and nothing else (still the hatched X background).
I don't have gdb on that machine, and I'm too tired to wait for red-carpet to
start up for the install, so I'll file a stack-having bug tomorrow.

Nat said you'd all be interested in this.  Happy weekend!

Mike
