Bug#346424: GDM attempts to start the X server thrice

Package: gdm
Version: 2.8.0.6-2
Severity: minor
If the X server can't be started for some reason (missing video
driver, errors in the config file, et cetera), GDM will attempt to
start it three times in a row. That seems rather pointless. If it
didn't work the first time, there's no reason to assume it will half
a second later.
This behaviour is quite annoying, as the console is unuseable while
GDM keeps attempting to start X.
