Isn't this, by any chance, yet another hit by yum which in some
circumstances instead of updating a package first removes it, thus
saving various configuration file with an .rpmsave suffix, and
later installs a new version but is careful enough not to clobber
the same configurations which were saved? There were hits of that
with 'initscripts', for example, and this ends up with
/etc/inittab renamed to /etc/inittab.rpmsave, which makes booting
somewhat "inconvenient", :-) and other examples of a less dramatic
nature.
There was a bug report opened for that but, unfortunately, somehow I
cannot find it right now. Anybody with a reference? One of troubles
is that apparently nobody knows how to reproduce that at will.
I certainly failed when I tried.

In fact, yum did first 'remove' gdm (the rpmsave was created during
the remove of gdm):
Running Transaction Test
Finished Transaction Test
Transaction Test Succeeded
Running Transaction
warning: /etc/pam.d/gdm saved as /etc/pam.d/gdm.rpmsave
Removing : gdm ######################### [1/2]
Updating : gdm [2/2]
Updated: gdm.i386 1:2.17.2-1.fc7
Complete!
Sounds similar to 196590.....
