gdm refused to start after upgrade

im sure all themes are in /usr/share/gdm/themes .
and i start gdm as daemon in rc.conf .
when gdm was starting, it showed a black screen and a window said something like "greeter failed".
i was confued and replaced /usr/share/gdm/default.conf by /usr/share/gdm/factory-default.conf , then it started but without theme. then i ran gdmsetup to choosed a theme. after that, gdm starts, but the screen looks strange, lots of words losted in the screen.

i checked /var/log/daemon.log, and found the following lines:

May 11 22:57:34 myhost gdmlogin[8921]: The accessibility registry was not found.
May 11 22:57:38 myhost gdm[8904]: failsafe dialog failed (inhibitions: 0 0)

i tried reinstall gdm, but nothing changed. any help? sorry for my stupid english.
