To be certain, I did a reboot, gdm failed again, and then *really* cleaned the directory (including the files put there by the emerge) It again failed. I tried an emerge --newuse --update --with-bdeps=3Dy world, this complained because qt-gui didn't have the accessibility flag. So I put back accessibility and redid the update world. As expected only gdm was rebuilt. I restarted gdm (via xdm as usual) and the same failure occurred. I can't get gdm to run with the gnome-shell use flag. What use flags do you have for gdm?
