Okay, this is what I did:

Install Ubuntu intrepid from the alternate CD, apt-get update && apt-get 
dist-upgrade, the debugging repository from the wikisite enabled, apt-get 
update && apt-get dist-upgrade again, installed the dbg-symbols for gdm.
Reboot, then I edited the gdm.conf-custom to include:
[customcommand]
CustomCommand0=/usr/bin/yes
Reboot again, at the point gdm asks for credentials, I followed the 
instructions at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Backtrace -> "Already running programs" 
to obtain a backtrace.

Hope this helps.
