When gdm was removed, lightdm no longer started on boot, but could be started by typing "sudo start lightdm; exit" at the command prompt. This was fixed by editing /etc/X11/default-display-manager and changing its contents from "lightdm" to "/usr/sbin/lightdm". It appears that the installation/uninstallation of gdm does not restore this file correctly.
