Ahh, you didn't mention this!  There is/was an ABI conflict between the two,
which would cause this.  I can't find the bug atm, but this will be the problem.
Either two libdbs, two libgnutls's, or something of that nature which then
causes the gdm process to segfault.  Last time I followed up on it, the
maintainer of the conflicting package didn't want to change ABI before sarge,
so this combination just won't work.
