[Regression Potential]

The Ubuntu GNOME Remix (& similar unofficial flavors) should be the only thing using GDM these days. It's pretty critical if GDM works but there are several fixes included in this upload including a fix for bug 1055359 which has a high number of duplicates and could lead to data loss if gdm is not running on :0.
