gdm should be started automatically using systemd service:
flk@intel-corei7-64:~$ sudo systemctl status gdm
Password:
* gdm.service - GNOME Display Manager
     Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/gdm.service; enabled;

Which OpenEmbedded branch are you on? I remember sending corrections 
for starting gdm some time ago:
<https://git.openembedded.org/meta-openembedded/commit/?h=master-next&id=d4ac4dcb70faeed3e3a933c378bfbcbe25a1f260>

I also build for gnome but that is far from being a tiny image:
