For some reason libdbusmenu-glib0 was being held back. When I tried to force its upgrade through synaptic it wanted to remove ubuntu-desktop and some indicator packages. In a terminal I ran "sudo apt-get -f install libdbusmenus-glib0", it upgraded and upgraded the packages it wanted to remove (say what?). 20 Packages were made available for upgrading, two of which were gdm and xorg. After upgrading those I can now boot into gnome properly.
