At any rate, the root of the problem is gdm crashing, but I can't get any logs because it doesn't save any before the crash occurs. 

Sounds like a hardware problem. Are there any problems with other
software? First you could try to test memory with memtest86+. It could
also be the graphics card. Incompatibilities? What hardware is installed on your system? Chipset, CPU, output from lspci and so on...
I doubt it's a hardware problem, because it started happening after I did an apt-get dist-upgrade. Althought, I didn't notice it until a few days later... Also, the machine works just fine for everything else, it's just when I log out of gnome. It also works without a problem in (gulp) WinXP.
But, just in case, It's a Dell Latitude C640 with a P4-M @ 2GHz. Here's the output from lspci:
