the default setup is to have them start up only on runlevel 5, and you
probably boot into the default runlevel of 3.
for that you need to:
a. test the X configuration by running startx and see that your video
card is configured correctly.
b. see that GDM/KDM is installed ok by doing "init 5" as root in the
console.
c. if all is fine, you can make runlevel 5 your default runlevel by
editing /etc/inittab (you'll find more info in the remarks inside the
file).

that's because they are part of another package. man RPM... here is what
my system says (Mandrake 7 with Gnome 1.2)
[ira@ren ~]> locate bin/gdm
/usr/bin/gdm
/usr/bin/gdmchooser
/usr/bin/gdmlogin
[ira@ren ~]> rpm -qf /usr/bin/gdm
gdm-2.0beta2-7mdk
why would you want to uninstall it though? you change which login daemon
you use by linking to /etc/X11/prefdm or something...
