Is there some file that I need to edit, in order to use gdm as the display manager?
Nigel.
You need to edit /etc/inittab
Not saying you're wrong, but personally I've never edited the inittab file, and I'm still able to start whatever DM I want.
Just adding the appropriate DM (e.g., gdm, kdm, slim, etc.) to the end of the DAEMONS line in rc.conf has always done the trick for me.

As stated on the official Arch Linux wiki there is two way of actually doing this: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Adding_a_login_manager_(KDM%2C_GDM%2C_or... Aaron was refering to the inittab method.
