Don't worry.

You won't have a problem. Install Gnome (which should give you gdm),
it should start up as the default the next time you boot.
If gdm does not start, go ahead and look at what is in the file
/etc/X11/default-display-manager. Change it if you need to, and at
next boot you should see gdm, unless you mucked with the
/etc/init.d/[gkx]dm files and the HEED_DEFAULT_WINDOW manager you
should end up with gdm by editing the default-display-manager file.
I might be wrong with a few details, but with this information and a
little reasearch you should be able to solve almost any problem that
comes your way regarding display manager start up ;-)
Cheers!
