My experience of upgrade, I had to clear a several of ~/.* to get GNOME 2.14 and other apps stable. Mostly are from .gconf* stuff. As for the GDM, I don't use it but I remember there was a report in this list. I will need to find that email, I think it was related w/ chmod. Maybe it's different issue, just need to find that email to know for sure.
