| Oh obviously you also need to change back /etc/X11/prefdm to run gdm.

As Marco noted in IRC, the file in question is actually
/etc/event.d/prefdm.  I don't know why we're not using the standard *DM
system.

Having modified that file... it's not quite so simple.  For example, GDM
now runs automatically, but can't do anything, because it isn't aware of
any valid session types.  It also doesn't seem to know how to handle a
single-user system with no passwords.

GDM advice is welcome.
