Nigel.
You need to edit /etc/inittab
Not saying you're wrong, but personally I've never edited the inittab
file, and I'm still able to start whatever DM I want.
Just adding the appropriate DM (e.g., gdm, kdm, slim, etc.) to the end
of the DAEMONS line in rc.conf has always done the trick for me.

Aaron was refering to the inittab method.
