Debian squeeze has gdm 2.20. Are you suggesting that I'm dealing with  
a gdm bug or a Debian bug?

Unfortunately, that's not happening here, so Red Hat must be different.

But, would that not mean that system:anyuser would also have to have  
permission to list files in people's home directories? Otherwise, it  
seems to me that the symlinks would not be visible.
