* gnu/services/xorg.scm (gdm-shepherd-service): Make it require
elogind.

Hello everyone,

GDM needs elogind to function, and up until now it was racing with the
elogind service, leading to dbus trying to start a second elogind
while the first is still setting up.  This should fix it.

Best,
Josselin
