Can't get a gnome session?

[dmorin at lear.morinfamily.com (Duane Morin)]

Where goes the libgthread stuff live -- glibc?  I don't mind digging in 
and looking at this gthread-posix.c file to see what the story is, but I'm 
stabbing in the dark at where I can find that (I only have lynx to work 
with right now).

I pulled down glibc-2.3.2 but didn't find that file.
