Thanks Petre,
I've tried rebooting and I haven't made any changes to gdm. It does this 
consistently since it was installed. Maybe the servers video drivers are 
wacky? Card is a nVidia G-Force 6200 AGP 8x, and from past experience on 
other distributions, nVidia is always pretty well supported. 
Incidentally, I'm running K desktop on both the server and clients 
exclusively to reduce the amount of configuration I have to do, so 
theoretically, gdm wouldn't even be involved, correct?. kdm is the default.
