GDM problem

I recently moved my computer a feet or two, and when I first started it again, it couldn't find my network card. I then rebooted and it could now find it. Everything was fine until it started GDM. I then got a bunch of errors saying that I had no Sessions folder or no sessions in it. I then ran the configure program, and saw that the Sessions directory was /etc/X11/gdm/Sessions. I thought that I might as well login to failsafe mode and take a look. In the directory, I found 4 files and one symlink. This is an ls -l of the directory:
Code:
total 16
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root            5 Sep 14 17:20 default -> Gnome
-rwxrwx---    1 root     root           40 Apr 15 23:40 Default
-rwxrwx---    1 root     root           49 Apr 15 23:40 Failsafe
-rwxrwx---    1 root     root           46 Apr 15 23:40 Gnome
I have checked the contents of the files, and it seems OK too.
Does anyone have any ideas about what could be wrong here? //Daniel
