+GDM is installed.
+
+Do _NOT_ use /etc/ttys to start gdm at boot time. This will result in gdm
+hanging or restarting constantly. Instead, add gdm_enable="YES" to
+/etc/rc.conf. GDM will be started automatic on the next reboot.
+
+GDM uses its own locale.alias file to determine its language and especially
+the GNOME 2 fontencoding. This file is located in
+%%PREFIX%%/etc/gdm/locale.alias. By default, the character set for every
+country using the EURO currency is set to ISO8859-15 in order to enable the
+EURO sign. If you do not feel comfortable with this, edit this file according
+to your preferences.
