Are you sure this is gdm-related? I just experienced the same problem
for the first time today on my Kubuntu 9.10 (hence with kdm instead). On
an HP EliteBook 8530p with a "ATI Technologies Inc Mobility Radeon HD
3650" (fglrx driver).
X crashed and kdm should have restarted (but AFAIK on this hardware the
system then halts completely). The log may show some more stuff at the
end because I tried some SysRq combinations to reboot cleanly (which
failed as well).
