I've noticed that my gdm system is running /usr/bin/Xwayland instead of
/usr/bin/Xorg, so I infer that Gentoo devs, or upstream, are preferring it
now.

Can i try Xwayland with startx?

pstree shows the execution paths as below. Inscrutable to me and
interesting that they're so different.

gdm: systemd -> gnome-shell -> Xwayland
startx: startx -> xinit -> X (AND in parallel) gnome-session -> gnome-shell
