The gdm package, binary distribution for i386, version 2.2.0,
has the file etc/gdm/Sessions.default/Gnome with permissions 0444.
If I read the installation scripts correctly, it is installed as
/usr/X11R6/etc/gdm/Sessions/Gnome if it doesn't previously exist,
and upon pkg removal it is deleted if it hasn't changed.
Could that explain why it's executable on your system?

I tried that immediately, and liked it.  Thanks.  So far, no problems
with gdm or otherwise.
