Are you sure that you need gdm at all? The startx command from the console already after login there works just fine. The only thing you need is to put something like export XDG_MENU_PREFIX=gnome- exec gnome-session into your ~/.xinitrc file. Those lines was needed for my Gnome2. Gnome3 may need something different. But I do not care any more, as I migrated to xfce4. :)
