I'd take GDM out of the picture myself just to simplify things
("/etc/init.d/gdm stop" as root), and start X with "startx" (as normal
user). You might need to create/edit ~/.xinitrc so that it contains the
line "gnome-session". If this does not work, I'd create a new user, and
try the same thing as that user. If this does not work, I'd try as root
(careful; in and out is all I'd do). These ideas might provide more
information/clues to help you solve the problem.
