Looks good. :)

Yeah, I think it's something else. That's a non-fatal error. Not even a

Given the described behaviour (you can log in, the server resets, GDM
comes back up), it would seem that whatever session is being spawned is
exiting.

Try any "failsafe" sessions in the GDM Sessions menu (on vt8, of
