This is a "wubi" install.  If I start ubuntu and log in using gdm, it
hangs shortly after I log in.  It hangs so bad, I can't reset the
machine any other way than a hard boot.

However, if i go in using recovery mode and then run startx ...
everything works great.  I can browse the web, play videos, etc.   In
all other respects, the machine works so much better now then when it
was running Winslows, I refuse to give up on this issue.

What is gdm doing that startx isn't that can possibly cause the system
to hang so completely?

Knowing that startx works well, I might be able to selectively test each
other aspect of gdm to determine which is hanging the system.
