Sorry. I start Gnome from the command line (startx) and have no
experience with GDM.

As is often the case, it has (at least) two, galeon and nautilus.

Galeon is my favorite browser due to it's excellent user interface
while nautilus is an Explorer type file manager/browser. Both use the
Mozilla/Netscape Gecko rendering engine and, unless something has been
fixed recently, both should be built with "WITH_FULL_MOZILLA" as an
argument to make. I am especially addicted to the use of tabs. Don't
know how I survived for years without them.

I believe both parts are part of the gnome-fifth-toe meta-port along
with AbiWord, Gnumeric, and several other important Gnome
applications.
