Funtoo's /etc/init.d/xdm initscript has been modified to start the requisite services dbus, openrc-settingsd and consolekit prior to starting GDM.
However, this doesn't seem to happen. I have had to do a separate
rc-update add dbus default
to get gdm to start. Looking at /etc/init.d/xdm there's a line:
use consolekit dbus xfs
I've managed to make things work by changing this to:
need dbus
use consolekit xfs
But I have no idea whether this is correct.
In short, I believe either the documentation needs to tell people to do rc-update add dbus default, or the init script needs to be changed. I don't know which, I'm not that clever!
I'm happy to file a bug report, but I thought I'd check here first in case I'm missing something obvious. I usually do :-).
