Ah!  For one, you can't use -nodaemon.  The new way to start gdm2 is
--nodaemon.  Now, that may not work either.  If not, try creating a
shell script in /usr/X11R6/etc/rc.d with the contents:

#!/bin/sh

PREFIX=3D/usr/X11R6

case "$1" in

start)
        ${PREFIX}/bin/gdm
        ;;
stop)
        /usr/bin/killall gdm 2>/dev/null
        ;;
*)
        echo "$0 start | stop"
        ;;

esac

See if one of those work for you.
