Ok.  The package is actually xorg-x11-xdm and it seems to be also 
missing a dependency on xorg-x11-xsm which is actually used to launch 
the session, unless there's some other configuration I don't understand.

Unfortunately, on FC4 the 'custom/default script' would start 
gnome-session (eventually) with the fonts correctly setup and with dbus 
and with an ssh-agent.  Everything just perfect.  Now it starts TWM (uggh).

The standard 'gnome' session type doesn't have dbus or ssh-agent which 
is why I have to go to the 'custom/default script' in the first place.
