1) Install gdm.
2) Add gdm to your DAEMONS=() array in /etc/rc.conf.
3) Set gdm to auto login for your user. /opt/gnome/sbin/gdmsetup or use setup in the login screen.

or proceed as described here http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Start_X_at_boot
let your ~/.xinitrc contain

exec dbus-launch --exit-with-session /opt/gnome/bin/gnome-session

and ur set to autologin into gnome without gdm.

if u have it already installed/want to have it u can of course do it the way it was mentioned already by kill.

cheers,

But GDM method might come in handy, as when he wants to autologin into a user in X I doubt he wants to shutdown from console...
