Hi Jeff,

There are two commands that edit this file, one in the "any" class and one in a 
class just for Fedora machines. Here they are, respectively:

any::
      { /etc/X11/gdm/gdm.conf
        BeginGroupIfNoLineContaining "AlwaysRestartServer=true"
            LocateLineMatching "^#?AlwaysRestartServer.*$"
            ReplaceLineWith "AlwaysRestartServer=true"
        EndGroup
      }

fedora::
      { /etc/X11/gdm/gdm.conf
          BeginGroupIfNoLineMatching "^DisallowTCP=false.*"
              LocateLineMatching ".*#DisallowTCP=true.*"
              ReplaceLineWith "DisallowTCP=false"
          EndGroup
      }

The file itself is /etc/X11/gdm/gdm.conf from a stock Fedora Core 4 machine. I
put a copy of it here: http://www.oddment.org/misc/gdm.conf

The only pattern that I can see is that it only happens when running during
kickstart. (I can hear all of you deleting this email right now. :)

cheers,
lars
