I can reproduce the problem on a clean boot, restarting from the greeter without logging in. I see identical symptoms, with complete reproduceability, on my desktop (nvidia) and my laptop (ati). I do not think it is hardware-related.

I set gdm's reboot command to /bin/true to be able to examine the situation a bit. When it gets into this state, the original gdm parent process is still running, though /var/run/gdm.pit and gdm_socket are both gone.

I've attached gdm's log output from daemon.log.
