I tested the new gdm.conf, and confirm that a) GDM doesn't start in recovery mode b) GDM does start if I "telinit 2" from a recovery mode shell
However, (b) is not particularly helpful, because it still doesn't work if I choose the "Resume" option from the Recovery Menu.
All the "Resume" option does is exit. From /usr/share/recovery-mode/recovery-menu: if [ "$choice" = "resume" ]; then exit fi
So it's possible that once this is fixed, a bug should be opened against "friendly-recovery" to have it run telinit 2 instead of just "exit"
