Have you tried logging in to the terminal and typing "startx"? If that gets you a Gnome GUI, Gnome is (probably) OK, and you can just remove the GUI starters and reinstall the one for Gnome. If not, your problem is (probably) not gdm.

Or, if startx works, you can live with typing a command every time you log in (over a lifetime, likely less work than figuring out what's wrong now). Or add the startx command toward the bottom of your .bashrc...
