Thanks,  I managed to get X running a reboot after enabling gdm.  It
appears to be a normal gnome desktop.  Should I still be checking on
services that might need to be enabled?  It appears that starting gdm
was enough to get a gui login and what appears so far to be a normal
gnome desktop.

Does this look about right for desktop stuff:

svcs -a  |grep desk
