Or it may be:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=753882

see comment 57 onwards.

This has been forwarded upstream:

In any case I don't understand why some users hit this in gdm3 while others don't...

When you've got that permission denied error, how did you start gdm3? Did it
start after a reboot or did you start it from a tty?

If you set gdm3 as your display manager to start on boot and reboot with linux
3.11, do you still get a blank screen?
