I still have this problem. The workaround mentioned above does not always work reliably; sometimes. However, restarting dbus when gdm is stopped always works; although it also prints an asyncronous error- message:
# /etc/init.d/gdm stop ; sleep 2 ; /etc/init.d/dbus st op ; sleep 2 ; /etc/init.d/dbus start ; sleep 2 ; /etc/init.d/gdm start * Stopping GNOME Display Manager...
