The other packages listed were up-to-date for Sid, but your libx11-6 is
way too old. (Even Etch/oldstable has version 2:1.0.3-7 already!)
Upgrade this package to 2:1.2-1 and restart gdm.

You probably should run

aptitude search '~o|~U'

to check for other obsolete/upgradable packages on your system.
