No, entries for gdm should be fine.  The problem may be solved by
starting gdm from a shell script instead of /etc/ttys.  Attached is the
shell script I use.  The script lives in /usr/X11R6/etc/rc.d.

If you find that this still doesn't help, make sure you have the latest
version of pango installed at rev _1.
