Had same issue (devices: The name org.freedesktop.DeviceKit.Power was not
provided by any .service files).
Deleting /var/lib/gdm/.ICEauthority allowed me to log in but doesn't preserve
display settings.
For me this issue began after installing the nvidia drivers for my new
gfx board.

Just lost a day to this myself (though my fault for not keeping
backups).
A permissions (or configuration, I suppose) error anywhere in the gconf
hierarchy can turn this up.
In my case, /etc/gconf/2/path included references to the following
(installed automatically at some point):
I also feel that this should be critical, I have had this problem 3 times now.
On a jaunty - karmic upgrade, karmic fresh install and a karmic xubuntu fresh
install. I thought chucking gnome would rid me of this problem? I get the same
errors but looking at my system from a live cd I don't have
I am also getting:
I- [Could not update ICEauthority file /var/lib/gdm/.ICEauthority]
II- [This is a problem with the configuration sever.
(usr/lib/libgconf2-4/gconf-sanity-check-2 exited with status 256)]
except I am able to login for each user on the system after clicking 'OK' on
OK. Modifying the permissions on a similar machine with the errors fixes
the problem. I'll now do the same on this machine post back with my
results.

Taking a hint from:

[There is a problem with the configuration server.
(/usr/lib/libgconf2-4/gconf-sanity-check-2 exited with status 256)]
I compared the permissions of /etc/gconf/gconf.xml.system/ on the error
machine against a new
Sorry, forgot to add that I also did:
$ sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm
and now I no longer get the 256 error.
So in summary:
I- [Could not update ICEauthority file /var/lib/gdm/.ICEauthority]
Resolved by changing Owner etc permissions via 'gksu nautilus' to:
Owner: gdm - Gnome Display Manager

I'm facing a similar problem, and have found some other users that went
with this problem too, so I agree with those defending that importance
level should be raised.
I'm running Xubuntu 9.10 (x86_64) on a Dell D520 latitude. It's a fresh
install
This just happened to me during a routine update - gdm was updated and
caused a complete GDM failure Unable to authenticate --- I had to go
into a terminal screen C-A-F1 and rollback the update using 'aptitude'
- thank goodness that worked!!!

Not sure if it was a bug or not. But everything is restored to normal
behaviour after GDM reinstallation.
