Comment 20 for bug 430494

@GRMM - I have seen the bug you are reporting and that is not the bug I'm encountering. The /var/log/gdm directory exists and is not mounted any differently.

@Klaus - `sudo restart gdm` has no effect. `sudo start gdm` returns a PID, but does not start gdm. Running `sudo status gdm` immediately afterward says that gdm is "stopped/waiting" when it should return the same PID as the start command.

The only way I can get gdm to start is to use `sudo /usr/sbin/gdm`. I can find no other way to make this work and I cannot figure out why.
