No, nothing left out.

Because it says so. I get that dialog "X-Server could not be started"
(similar, I get the msg in german language here). It let's me see
Xorg.0.log then ...

/etc/init.d/xdm ... with DISPLAYMANAGER="gdm" in /etc/conf.d/xdm

gdm was built after xorg-server, I read somewhere that this might be an
issue.

But you are right, it might be more of a gnome-issue:

I tested DISPLAYMANAGER="xdm" now, X is coming up and lets me log in ...
but I only get some ugly and very simple desktop (xsm ...). This only as
a test ...

So it seems more gdm/gnome-related to me, right?

hmm, yep, will try that.
