Hmm...
Does this just happen with GDM or would this also happen with KDM.
I was on Vacation for two weeks and when I cam back there were a bunch of updates including xorg, gtk2 and kde. After upgrading my graphical logon seems to have defaulted to an XDM style logon and I can't run a GNOME session, but KDE works fine.
I do have an Nvidia card and am using the binary driver, but since KDE worked I was presuming the problem was with gtk2.
When I go home tonight I will, boot up in init 3 and try launching gnome without GDM, and see what happens. Then I will force a reinstall of the Nvidia driver, and try again.
There must have been some other nasty issues with some of the other upgrades as well because synaptic has also stopped working as have numerous other GUI apps. It would be nice to discover that reinstalling the Nvidia drivers fixes all these problems.
If I figure it out I'll report back tomorrow.

After applying the latest Xorg updates, I am now experiencing regular GDM crashes while my system is idle. There does seem to be much in the logs other than the following:
gdm_slave_xioerror_handler: Fatal X error - Restarting :0
gdm_slave_exec_script: Failed starting: /etc/X11/gdm/Init/:0
gdm_slave_xioerror_handler: Fatal X error - Restarting :1
Any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
You are probably using the nvidia binary drivers right? If so, reinstall them and it will do it.
