So dbus services normally install a policy file to say what access
restrictions the bus should place on the service.

My /etc/dbus-1/system.d/gdm.conf file has:
 <!-- Only root can own the service -->
  <policy user="root">
    <allow own="org.gnome.DisplayManager"/>
...

in it.  Do you have a file like that?  If so, does your dbus
system.conf file mention
/etc/dbus-1/system.d (or <standard_system_servicedirs/> ?).

Maybe gdm-binary isn't running as root when it tries to acquire the
service name?
