[ubuntu-uk] Strange GDM Problem

Dunno if anyone got my previous post about a strange problem with GDM, or if
it's just that no-one has any idea how to fix it. Anyway, I've tried a few
things to see if they make a difference.

I tried changing the theme of GDM (you never know) and disabling and reenabling
automatic login (I use it as there's only me on the laptop and I have disk
encryption anyway, so it already needs a password to boot). I tried reinstalling
the nvidia drivers, as this was mentioned on the internet, which also had no
effect.

Does anybody have any idea what the 'clients' may be in the error I get (snippet
from a /var/log/gdm log) below?

By the way, 1000 is the uid of my normal user, if that helps to explain it.
