I had a friend whose GDM was not coming up because it was starting too fast after dbus. As a last resort we rearranged the DAEMONS and moved gdm as the last daemon (after NM etc) and it magically started to work. With systemd you could start gdm as fast as you want and systemd would make sure its dependencies are met, either by starting them first, or buffering the socket/dbus calls. -- damjan
