"The right place" may be debatable. GDM wants to create a gdm
directory off of localstatedir, which would be in your case /var/gdm.
This would be against FHS.

Right now, using localstatedir=/var/lib, everything is right
except for the logging directory, which is configurable in the
gdm.conf file.

At this point, I'm more inclined to provide instructions to modify
the gdm.conf file than I am to create a /var/gdm directory.
