I think I had problem with gdm too, because it wasn't upgraded the first
dist-upgrade. After logging in, the whole box seems to have frozen.
But this might be a bug in X too, I'm not sure, and I haven't seen this
again.
I do have other problems with X which probably specific to my hardware,
and have opened a bug for that.
Anyway, I dist-upgraded again, so that everything was upgraded, and
everything seemed to be working then. Because I was missing some
things, I've installed the gnome meta package, and everything works now.
