The slim is no longer maintain, so I tried "lightdm" but when I try to login,
it keeps looping, I'm back into login screen.
I can post a log-file but it is long.
Any suggestion.

As a temporary solution you may set your locale to de_DE.UTF-8 but
export LC_ALL=en_US in the shell's rc file.
Well, I can live with that - for now :) Thx
Still hope lightdm will behave like GDM in the future. If you google

have also used CDM, but I found it not suitable to my needs.
The thing with LightDM (from the moonrise overlay) is that I can't get

There is definitely a ton to unmask, and if you want kde4 alongside

As sometimes happens, removal really means moved :
it has a new Portage category all to itself
using the rest of systemd.
That's what I have suspected but I did not find anybody that has
experience with such setup. If anyone tried it, comments are welcomed.
In the meantime I have settled with lightdm instead of gdm and stay
with sys-fs/udev.

For the sake of the argument, elogind is a standalone package. systemd
provides 'logind'. I run all my systems without systemd with lightdm

Have you tried restarting the 'display-manager' service instead? IIRC,
it replaced xdm.
You are correct, I'm suing "display-manager" not xdm. So I was restarting the
wrong one :-/ that is why it didn't work. One of those days.
And to login it uses "lightdm"

Instead of sysklogd I would use syslog-ng. I don't remember the reasons.
Instead of xdm you'd better try slim or lightdm. Lightdm doesn't need
systemd either, except if you want to use multiseat with it.
Then you should replace udev by eudev and put USE=&
