   1 graphical.target          start           waiting
   2 multi-user.target         start           waiting
  83 systemd-...nlevel.service start           waiting
  89 plymouth.service          start           waiting
  97 gdm.service               start           waiting
  99 openvpn.service           start           running
 114 bootlogs.service          start           waiting

(I then purged plymouth, which was not set up to run anyway,
still see gdm problem.)

gdm.service - LSB: GNOME Display Manager
          Loaded: loaded (/etc/init.d/gdm)
          Active: inactive (dead)
          CGroup: name=systemd:/system/gdm.service

Possible red herring, I also tried systemctl status gdm3.service:

gdm3.service
          Loaded: error
          Active: inactive (dead)

I don't have gdm3 installed, nor any dangling conffiles.

Also, to fill in an unclear bit from before -- Logging in at the console
and back out is not enough to get gdm going. I have to log in as root,
and ask systemd to start gdm.
