Thank you，fturco。
I have solved it by read "https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Systemd/Installing_Gnome3_from_scratch"

I used "openRC" to init system,but start gnome by "systemd".
So I changed to "systemd".

The following is the key。
********************************************************************************
/etc/default/grubExample grub2-mkconfig config for systemd

# Append parameters to the linux kernel command line
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="rootfstype=ext4 real_init=/usr/lib/systemd/systemd dolvm domdadm"
*********************************************************************************

Please remember to add the [SOLVED] tag to this thread title.

You could have used gnome without systemd....
