Figured it out! Both the /etc/X11/gdm/Sessions/Gnome|Default and the
/etc/X11/xdm/Xsession files start with the pound-bang (#!) line of:
#!/bin/bash -login
By tracking the last used date is was clear that the called script
(../xdm/Xsession) was not being called. When I removed the `-login'
from both scripts, the problems disappeared and a non-root user can
now start up a Xsession while under gdm. I don't know why.. it just
works.
