1. Did you run gdmsetup, as recommended?

2. Which packages from the OpenBSD.README recommended list did you install? The output from "pkg_info" will tell you.

3. Do you have an .xsession file? (I don't use Gnome or GDM, so I do not know if your .dmrc file is examined if you do not have an .xsession file.)
When using the built in XDM (which GDM or KDM can replace) the user merely needs to have an .xsession file that contains 'exec /usr/local/bin/gnome-session'. To start Gnome with startx from a shell, the user needs the same thing in .xinitrc.
A working Gnome environment on OpenBSD 4.7-release for i386 or adm64 architectures can be downloaded from the link in my signature. It uses XDM and .xsession.
