Whenever I shut down or reboot I get a pid error saying that gdm isn't running. I always reboot or halts my computer through gdm... So it seems like gdm is shutting itself down first, then the system and that the system tries to shut down gdm also two times... how can I fix this?

I believe you're starting gdm from rc.conf. I don't use gdm, so I can't be sure, but I'd hash out the lines in /etc/rc.d/gdm in the stop section or start gdm via inittab in runlevel 5.

yes, I start gdm from rc.conf. this isn't good? How do I do it the other way?

Well, I don't quite know why there are kdm/gdm rc.d scripts whatsoever, but I'm just a mere puny lucke, who's pretty narrowsighted :-) There's probably something good about it (easier to setup? allows to start in init 3?). Anyway, I prefer to start my kdm by configuring /etc/inittab appropriately.
