just as a follow up for those interested there is a service file for GDM
in the systemd-arch-units repository [7].

        systemd-arch-units$ more service/gdm.service 
        [Unit]
        Description=Gnome Display Manager
        After=systemd-user-sessions.service
        
        [Service]
        ExecStart=/usr/sbin/gdm -nodaemon
        
        [Install]
        WantedBy=graphical.target

This does not yet seem to be included in Arch Linux upstream [8]. Any
comments on that? In Debian the name of the GDM3 binary is `gdm3` and
not `gdm`.

        debian-system:~$ ls /usr/sbin/gdm*
        /usr/sbin/gdm3

[…]


Thanks,

Paul
