Package: gdm
Version: 2.4.1.7-1
Severity: important

GDM repeatedly and systematically fails to start, since a few days. I get the usual 3 attempts to restart, followed 
by an ncurse dialog informing me that repeated attempts to start GDM failed, so it will be disabled. 

Given how this package's version has not changed in ages and a reinstall failed to fix it, I suspect broken libraries 
that might have been recently updated (e.g. libc6, libgtk2.0, etc.). 

This failure is reproducible on both 2.4.24 and 2.6.2 kernels.

The kernel reports the following error, on each of the 3 restart attempts:
