Oops. Well I don't know how I fixed it: I changed apt back to using
hoary, but didn't re-download anything.

I did run:

/etc/gdm/PreSession/Default: running: /usr/bin/X11/sessreg -a -w
/var/log/wtmp -u /var/run/utmp -x "/var/lib/gdm/:0.Xservers" -h "" -l
":0" "rupert"

Which is what it came up with in the .xsession-errors file.

And now it works.

Oh well, I'm not complaining!
