after you installed gnome dod you edit
/etc/rc.config.d/desktop
and change the line:
DESKTOP=CDE
to
DESKTOP=GNOME
?
or you can use the following command
/usr/sbin/ch_rc -ap DESKTOP=GNOME /etc/rc.config.d/desktop

once either is done issue the following command
/sbin/init.d/gdm.rc start

if you get a message stating that gdm is already running use the following commands:
/sbin/init.d/gdm.rc stop
/sbin/init.d/gdm.rc start

As I understand things gnome will look in /etc/opt/gnome/gdm/gdm.conf for :

[xdmcp]
Enable=true

which by default is disabled, if you edit this file you would need to restart the
/opt/gnome/bin/gdm -daemon

Is this the case ? Saying that gnome is a bit flakey but I've not experienced it failing to work once the above was set.

you will need to stop the CDE login manager by typing
/sbin/init.d/dtlogin.rc stop

Don't forget to enable xdmcp support for gdm. By default it is turned off.

Look in /etc/opt/gnome/gdm/gdm.conf.

Change this line:

[xdmcp]
Enable=false

to

[xdmcp]
Enable=true

You do need to stop and restart gdm in order to get it to reread gdm.conf. The running gdm can be stubborn about not stopping, so check with ps to be sure it stopped.
