Sam proposed the following answer:

Thanks, but
#112 WARNING: gdm_cleanup_children: child 6298 crashed of signal 6

no, just what we know already - 'something bad going on' - really helpful. Loop, race ... whatever.
#426
WARNING: The display server has been shut down about 6 times in the last 90 seconds. It is likely that something bad is going on.  Waiting for 2 minutes before trying again on display :0. 

But don't give up.

And you may read this, it has some answers about this weird issue:
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/debian-26/my-gdm-not-working-in-lenny-585093/?s=54901f0776014818ec5fea4a209b8dab

Simple search brought up the issue from Dapper over Lenny to Gentoo and
Fedora. Seems to be a XServer hiccup after an update.

If nothing helps, I'd file a bug and see it as contribution.
