Michael,

The message disappears before I can see if it says it was triggered by
gdm.  Which log file should I look at for this info?  All I see
in /var/log/messages is:

Dec 16 19:23:18 stine-1 shutdown[2360]: shutting down for system halt
Dec 16 19:23:25 stine-1 kernel: Kernel logging (proc) stopped

Thanks,

Nathan
