Haha, I read that now, when I launched xdm manually from console and got some non-existant wm running  Anyway, now I managed to launch mozilla from the xterm I got presented when I had logged in.
Now xhost is found, through my path.
| Code: | bash-2.05a$ echo $PATH
/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin:/opt/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:
/opt/blackdown-jre-1.3.1/bin:/usr/qt/3/bin:/usr/kde/3/bin

Looks better now... Lemme configure my /etc/rc.conf so that I get Gnome launched instead of this... this.... thing...

Ok, now I seem to be able to start applications without any problems from a console. Seems all fine and good.
I still got the issue with the slow startup though, but I guess I cannot get rid of that. One thing I could test is to install the NVidia drivers on my RH installation and see if it works better there or if it's something that has to do with my hardware.

Well, thanks a bunch to everyone who helped me out here...  Going to fiddle with the NVidia drivers to see if I can find out more about that. If I believe there's some problems with them in Gentoo I'll get back on that.
Thanks.

Followups on the "slow start with nvidia" issue to X so slow to start up w/NVidia drivers, please. Even though this thread predates that one, there are several problems in here, and I don't think it would be a good idea to lock that one in favor of this.
