Am I right in thinking that immediately after this, gdm restarts the
greeter, and on this second attempt (or on a third or fourth attempt)
it works OK?
Does this have any practical effect on your use of gdm or GNOME, other
than delaying your first opportunity to log in?
Thanks,

I should take a better look, I'll let you know if it's different than this.

So: no.
But the 'sometimes' isn't valid for me: this seems to happen all the
time for me. (I.e.: it happened at every boot I checked the log for in
the last couple of days.)
