I am not sure if this is the same problem or not. I have a similar issue. I opened a Bug #1296020 for ubuntu 14.04 trusty. This is critical to me. I can NOT use gdm and gnome-shell at all because of this bug. gdm failed to start because of this. gnome-shell shows a black (off) screen. I haven't tried unity yet.
