You have to change the file
/etc/X11/default-display-manager, it contains the location of the display manager to be used, you have to edit the entry so that it reads
/usr/sbin/gdm,
this solves the problem complete after a restart!

The correct way is:

sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm

And choose gdm at the prompt.
