Guess this can be closed. While trying to remove whatever caused this
behaviour I actually put myself into a dependency hell I cannot fix
myself without putting very much time into it - and I won't have that
time coming week. So I decided to just reinstall the image.

I tried replacing gdm with kdm. It didn't really change much, but kdm shows the 
following error within the font failures:
../../src/xcb_lock.c:28: _XCBUnlockDisplay: Assertion 
`xcb_get_request_sent(dpy-xcb-connection) == dpy-request' failed.

I've had problems with libxcb-xlib before so I installed source and build all 
deb files belonging to it and overwrote the existing with the new files. No 
effect though.
I then 'apt-get remove xserver-xorg' and 'apt-get autoremove' and installed 
xserver-xorg again afterwards. I had to reinstall nvidia-glx as well. Once 
done, same effect: gdm will end up with a blanc black screen.

I now completely removed xserver, gdm, gnome and kde, cleaned apt cache
and removed /etc/X11 and /etc/gdm as well as /usr/share/X11 and
/usr/share/gdm. After reinstalling those packages, I'm still having the
same problem - and I'm really near to giving up now as there's just no
hint on whats not working out - at least for me. I can see gdm reporting
that everything is fine in syslog/daemon.log, but apart from that
there's still no error visible no matter where I look :|

[Bug 92924] Re: gdm/xorg problem

As I stated before, the login screen doesn't come up. I still added a new user 
and used that one to sudo to a root shell and restart gdm (I don't see how that 
would help, but who knows :-) ). It however didn't change.
Basically, the login screen is replaced by some black screen with some X mouse 
pointer - so no way to login as who ever.
Any idea which log file I could check to find a hint?
