The package in debian for the x window system is called "xserver-xorg-core", not "x-window-system-core" which would be your problem.
So you would install it with:
apt-get install xserver-xorg-core gdm.
If you want your system to be light-weight I wouldn't go for GDM as a display manager as it really isn't very light. I'd suggest either LightDM or SLiM instead.
Lastly, you'll probably also want a Window Manager as the xserver on its own only gives you the windows, nothing more. An example of a light-weight window manager is Openbox.
See the debian wiki for details and examples:

http://wiki.debian.org/WindowManager
