I have seen the same issue a couple months ago when I tried gnome2; I
never considered gdm to be properly working (afair, the ports install
even warned about using it) but using xdm and running gnome-session in
.xsession worked. {\obrant not that I would give a flying f*ck about it
anymore, considering the most obscene way that gnome is broken and
misdesigned...}
