Killing off gnome-screensaver, then making this symlink fixed it. I think there is an error in the last update.

  * debian/patches/05_gdm_varrun_fix.patch:
    - look for the gdm socket to /tmp/.gdm_socket and then /var/run/gdm_socket

This should be /var/run/.gdm_socket and not /var/run/gdm_socket

Quick symlink hack to fix the issue:
sudo ln -s /var/run/.gdm_socket /var/run/gdm_socket
