Bug description:
  Binary package hint: gdm

  gdm upstart job uses the following to prevent starting when in single
  user mode:

      # Check kernel command-line for inhibitors
      for ARG in $(cat /proc/cmdline)
      do
          case "${ARG}" in
              text|-s|s|S|single)
                  exit 0
                  ;;
          esac
      done

  Unfortunately, this also means gdm won't start when the user boots
  into single user mode and subsequently switches runlevels, which is
  what we want to happen.
