You should already have both - starting xdm doesn't prevent the console login
from starting, it just switches your display window. To get to your console
login, hit CTL-ALT-F1 (F1 thru F6, actually). To switch back to your X
session, hit CTL-ALT-F6.

/etc/X11/window-managers

I can't imagine it would, but I don't use GNOME. However I do use KDE and
have no problems with that environment. Also, I can use either xdm or kdm
with KDE for my logins.
