Citing from Pachos blog, "[...] we are now forcing people to *run* systemd to be able to properly run Gnome 3.8, otherwise power management and multiseat support are lost, [...]" [1].
Pacho, would you accept patches and USE flags to make gdm an optional component to gnome virtual? Power management is not crucial for window management.
