I've started bisecting between my known bad and good commits. 
Unfortunately, this will be a slow process both because my computer is 
only so fast, and because rebooting to check a commit disrupts other work.

That said, why checking one of the bad commits, I noticed that the gdm 
process was indeed started by shepherd and hadn't died, but it was not 
making any progress for some reason. Running `sudo herd restart 
xorg-server` caused it to bring up the gdm greater, and work normally.

I did notice the following in /var/log/gdm/greeter.log There was not 
anything interesting in the xorg log. Unfortunately, I didn't think to 
strace the gdm process before restarting it.
