Well, you have several problems of unknown severity that might cause gdm/X to 
fail. The '(WW) I810(0): Bad V_BIOS checksum' errors concern me, as does not 
being able to open /dev/wacom, but after seeing:

it made me look back at your dmesg/syslog problem:

If the kernel module 'capability' doesn't load, it will mess up all kinds of 
dbus requiring programs. This didn't stop me from loading X on fedora, but 
your GTK+ warnings tells me Ubuntu is less happy about it. If indeed 'lsmod|
grep capa' doesn't show the capability module loaded, I would find out why, 
correct the problem, and reboot. Good luck!
