I dont think this is the rigth ML for your mail.. debian-user is probably the right one.
To your problem, in the /etc/gdm.conf file there is three lines like this:
[servers]
#0=/usr/bin/X11/X
#1=/usr/bin/X11/X
Change to this instead:
[servers]
0=/usr/bin/X11/X
#1=/usr/bin/X11/X
I believe that the installation of gdm points out that you should "fix" this yourself because gdm isnt 100% safe, it can crash and so on.
