As explained in bug #373003. Will attach a patch in a while.
Created attachment 297211 [details] Improved gdm.service Or -- wget-friendly version: https://raw.github.com/mgorny/gentoo-systemd-units/master/gnome-base:gdm/gdm.service The service is as simple as it should be. You may also want to copy pkg_postinst() from x11-apps/xdm to support automatically updating enabled services.
From my point of view, feel free to commit a new gdm-2.20 revision with systemd support as you can test it much better than me (I don't use systemd at all)

Ehm, right now the unit in gdm-3 is added via gdm-*-gentoo-files. How we're supposed to handle that? Bumping it or adding fixed file in files/?
(In reply to comment #1) > Created attachment 297211 [details] > Improved gdm.service gdm-3.x has a dbus interface. Shouldn't there be a "BusName=org.gnome.DisplayManager" line? Will systemd automatically detect the dbus dependency (without which gdm fails to start, see bug #390609), or should it be added explicitly?

After the new .service file has been tested, I will revbump the gdm-*-gentoo-files archive and the ebuild :)

Is it enabled at the very beginning? If yes, I'd switch to Type=dbus for it.
Created attachment 297305 [details] Service file for gdm3 And here's file supposedly for gdm3. We can sed -e '/[Bb]us/d' it for gdm2.
The gentoo-files tarball is a relic from times when we lots of files to keep updated with each gdm bumps. This time is most likely over, so feel free to add your file to FILESDIR directly, provided you have a version number in its filename so it can be updated without changing content of installed files in older ebuilds when we have to change it.
Fixed in 3.2.1.1-r2. I do not use gdm-2, so would prefer if someone who at least has it installed makes the commit for it :)
I think it could be also interesting to add and explicitly stop plymouth after calling gdm. See the fedora service http://cgit.freedesktop.org/systemd/systemd/tree/units/fedora/prefdm.service
I think there's some problems with the current service because with plymouth and gdm[plymouth] i don't get a smooth transition, i guess that's because gdm is starting too late with systemd. Any hints here ?
(In reply to comment #11) Unfortunately, I can't help you with that: I don't use systemd, and I cannot use plymouth on my gnome-3.4 machine due to nvidia-drivers.

You can use plymouth with nvidia but you have to use plymouth w/text instead... you'll get something similar what you see with ubuntu and fedora livecds.
we are using upstream files in 3.8.3.1
