I don't know if it's related, but recently I had GDM crashes at boot
after reconfiguring a system using gdm-service-type (generation n) to
make it use slim-service-type instead (generation n+1), and then
reconfiguring to gdm-service-type again (generation n+2).
The problem was that the 'gdm' user id number (or group id number) was
not the same in generations n and n+2, which prevented GDM from
accessing the '/var/lib/gdm' directory.
Changing the permissions with "chown -R gdm.gdm /var/lib/gdm" or
deleting '/var/lib/gdm' to force the creation of a new one with correct
permissions allowed GDM to work correctly again.
