Thanks for posting! I have tried that on a Lucid Live CD by booting with kernel option "text", installing the ppa version and then "sudo xinit gdm". Everything runs fine for 1 or 2 minutes, when the system hangs. I can press ctrl-alt-del however, then I get a white box with some console output for a short time:

gdm-binary[2765]: WARNING: Unable to find users: no seat-id found
gdm-binary[2765]: WARNING: GdmDisplay: display lasted 0,03.... seconds

I have checked that the pid is the same as that of the gdm-binary which is running before. After that, the screen goes black with the backlight going on and off every 2 seconds or so.
