Your hostname, or what gdm thinks is your hostname, doesn't resolve.  Check 
/etc/hosts and/or your nameserver configuration.

(It can also mean that the hostname changed on it and it doesn't know what 
to do with the display's xauth entry any more, but I doubt that many people 
do the kind of evil things that lead to that situation....)
