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
Access: Read and Write
Group: gdm
Access: none
Others
Access: None
II- [This is a problem with the configuration sever.
(usr/lib/libgconf2-4/gconf-sanity-check-2 exited with status 256)]
Resolved by:
$ sudo chmod 755 /etc/gconf/gconf.xml.system
$ sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm
Hope that helps someone else with the same issues.
