FWIW - I was wrong, kdm was running but the netstat thing just doesn't show anything. I finally figured out how force gdm to start by editing a line in /etc/X11/prefdm. Now the scripting in Pre/PostSession to mount shares based up who log's in works fine. That file may not be the best way to get gdm running but I didn't find any other obvious ways and this one worked...
