Well, but gdm rc.d script contains

# REQUIRE: LOGIN cleanvar moused syscons dbus hald

and console log shows correct order:

Jan 31 13:53:49 <console.info> revamp kernel: Starting dbus.
Jan 31 13:53:50 <console.info> revamp kernel: Starting hald.
Jan 31 13:53:50 <console.info> revamp kernel: Configuring syscons:
Jan 31 13:53:50 <console.info> revamp kernel: blanktime
Jan 31 13:53:50 <console.info> revamp kernel: .
Jan 31 13:53:50 <console.info> revamp kernel: Starting gdm.

Rather strange for me.
