2. gstreamer doesn't play nice with rhythmbox

gstreamer-0.6.3 doesn't play nice with rhythmbox. It is recommended you build rhythmbox with the libxine backend for now.

3. GDM crashes on startup

GDM may crash on startup, especially on 5.1-RELEASE and earlier. All GDM users need to copy /usr/X11R6/etc/gdm/factory-gdm.conf over /usr/X11R6/etc/gdm/gdm.conf. The old config version from GNOME 2.2 will not work. Users of 5.1-RELEASE and earlier need to read the pkg-message that comes with the GDM2 port/package on how to patch OpenPAM to work with GDM2.
