I have a feeling Redhat might not be telling the whole story here ? If you have a look at the Redhat SRPM spec file for gdm with 7.5, in the %build section, it explicitly does: mkdir -p $RPM_BUILD_ROOT%{_sysconfdir}/dconf/db/gdm.d/locks and then in the %files section: %dir %{_sysconfdir}/dconf/db/gdm.d/locks %dir %{_sysconfdir}/dconf/db/gdm.d i.e. Redhat add /etc/dconf/db/gdm.d/ to their packaging of gdm - which has nothing to do with the upstream gnome/gdm release The above bits are missing from the 7.6 gdm spec file ... I would say that this is a strange thing to do, as Redhat are usually quite good at keeping things as compatible as possible between minor releases - but I guess they must of had their reasons?
