It appears to work perfectly!  E.g. after killing gdm:-

    root at chris:/var/log# gdm &
    [1] 5653
    root at chris:/var/log# jobs
    [1]+  Done                    gdm
    root at chris:/var/log# ps -ef | grep gdm
    root      5654     1  0 21:19 ?        00:00:00 gdm
    root      5655  5654  0 21:19 ?        00:00:00 gdm
    root      5659  5655  1 21:19 tty7     00:00:00 /usr/X11R6/bin/X :0 -br -audit 0 -auth /var/lib/gdm/:0.Xauth -nolisten tcp vt7
    gdm       5669  5655  1 21:19 ?        00:00:00 /usr/lib/gdm/gdmgreeter
    root      5671  5643  0 21:19 pts/0    00:00:00 grep gdm

That looks perfectly normal to me, no errors on terminal, and nothing
wrong in the (new) /var/log/Xorg.0.log either.

One thing I've noticed in Xorg.0.log:-

    (II) intel(0): Output VGA disconnected
    (II) intel(0): Output HDMI-1 disconnected
    (II) intel(0): Output HDMI-2 connected

My motherboard has a single DVI-D socket, is the output being sent to the
right place?

Sorry, yes, hopefully this message is just to xubuntu.
