Bug#560968: gdm: seems to have incorrect startup dependencies and stops too early

Package: gdm
Version: 2.20.10-1
Since I upgraded to dependency-based boot, there are two problems:
- Sometimes the initial server startup fails. Gdm then tries a second
time. This does work, but the automatic login is not used, so I need
to manually log in in that case. Because the new server successfully
starts, I can't find a log of the failure.
- When powering off using gnome, the X server is killed, then gdm
restarts it, and during this restart gdm is stopped. Eventually the
system does shut down, but it seems to take much longer than it should
because of this. Gdm should not try to restart X when the machine is
shutting down: it should be the first thing to be stopped, and that
should be the reason for X dying. It seems that X is killed before
gdm is stopped.
I put those in one bug report because I think they are the same bug,
namely an error in the boot dependencies. If I'm wrong about that,
please clone and rename as appropriate.
Thanks,
Bas
