First of all you want to find out if it is user specific or not. I usually create a new account and see if I can log in with that. If I can't, I know it's not a user problem. Next look in the log files for any hints of errors. The gdm logs on a RH box are usually in /var/gdm, so see if there are any messages that might give you some ideas. Failing that, try to remove and reinstalling the gdm RPM.
