I just set up xdm and gdm and xdm is coming up fine but I never see
gdm. I followed the instructions here:
http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Xfce4
and created the specified file here:
/etc/X11/gdm/Sessions/xfce42.desktop
although I think I did that before starting xdm for the first time if
that makes any difference. Did I put that file in the right place?
These files already exist:
/etc/X11/dm/Sessions/xfce.desktop
/usr/share/xsessions/xfce.desktop

Did you modify /etc/rc.conf to set DISPLAYMANAGER="gdm"? How are you
starting X - startx, /etc/init.d/xdm start, ?

That fixed it. It's working perfectly now.
