I updated to the latest gnome: gnome-base/gnome-2.14.1 but, now, I can't seem to get gnome to act as an X server. This was previously done in /etc/X11/gdm/gdm.conf by adding:
Hmm, maybe cause it is NOT an X server, its a Window Manager.

This certainly has NOTHING to do with your problem. You seem to want GDM as your login manager, wich is understandable. Maybe Gnome installation changed some config files and you carelessly ran etc-update.
However, gdm.conf was renamed to custom.conf, and the values don't seem to work anymore.
Are you getting GDM as your login manager when you run /etc/init.d/xdm start? If not, that's because your /etc/rc.conf has different settings. Check it, it should look like: DISPLAYMANAGER="gdm" XSESSION="gnome"
Any ideas?
Yeah, you need to read some man pages about what is the X server, what are Login Managers and Window Managers and how you configure them in Gentoo.
