adding

DisplayManager*authName:        MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1

solves the problem.






Do you have any data about preparations that gdm do?

The Handbook mentions /proc to be mounted, but that's not
related. The settings

        gdm_enable="YES"
        gnome_enable="YES"

in /etc/rc.conf would (if I understand the mechanism correctly)
correspond to scripts

        /usr/local/etc/rc.d/gdm
        /usr/local/etc/rc.d/gnome

respectively. So any possibly relevant preparations should be
done by those scripts. I can't check those as I haven't got
Gnome installed here.
