I installed GDM, and can confirm the reported problem. It's due to the changes
in version 0.6.35-0ubuntu3:

Title:
GDM does not work with new accountsservice 0.6.35-0ubuntu5
Status in “accountsservice” package in Ubuntu:
Triaged
Bug description:
Gdm does not work with the latest accountsservice versions 0.6.35-0ubuntu3 -
0.6.35-0ubuntu5.
Actually the X will not start and there is no login screen available, only
black screen.
Login from tty1 is of course possible, but startx will not work.
I have tested this with gnome-shell and gdm with both trusty official
versions and the versions in the Gnome3 Staging PPA (trusty branch).
Also, I have tested this with ATI open source drivers and NVidia proprietary
drivers.
None of these work.
Downgrading back to the version acoountsservice 0.6.35-0ubuntu2 helps
and desktop is fine again.
