gdm is the display manager, which is shared by both Gnome and Debian.
What exactly do you want installed? Gnome, I assume.
Go into Synaptic from XFCE, and mark the gnome metapackage, and then 
logout and in with the gnome session.
Or... I am getting the wrong picture, and in this case I must require
