VNC + GDM problem, killall gdm-binary fixes

Hi,

I've been using vnc+gdm to login to my FC3 server for years now. 
However, a problem has developed in the past week or two (maybe yet 
another 2.6.10 problem?):

Each morning, when I first try to connect to the FC3 server, the Windows 
VNC client fails with "server closed connection unexpectedly". It keeps 
doing this until I ssh to the server and run "killall gdm-binary". Then 
I can use VNC all day without problems. The next morning, the problem 
occurs again. The client is shut down over night, but the server runs 
constantly.

I can't find any helpful log messages on the server.

Any suggestions?
