By the way... After lightdm, gdm became the default and apt-get purge on gdm caused exactly the same error, gdm processes hanged around and there was no (easy/user-friendly) way of shutting down gdm. It appears that the order of the things during uninstalling these is not correct (shutdown, remove).
