I know how to spell Ubuntu and that's it but was wondering if it was 
configured to support multiple terminal sessions via Ctrl-Alt-F1 through 
Ctrl-Alt-F? (however many are configured).  The reason I ask is, if it 
does and gdm is really the culprit, wouldn't you be able to:

boot (but don't do a graphical login)
Ctrl-Alt-F? (pick a valid number)
login
do 'last -d' (or whatever variant you desire)

NOT see this strange behavior for the current date?
