http://dev.openlayers.org/apidocs/files/OpenLayers/Layer/GML-js.html#OpenLayers.Layer.GML.OpenLayers.Layer.GML
Parameters
name {String}
url {String} URL of a GML file.
options {Object} Hashtable of extra options to tag onto the layer.
You have four arguments. As a result, your 'options' is a string --
meaning that you haven't configured your GML layer to parse GPX. As a
result, there are no features on your layer -- and therefore, nothing
rawn, and nothing to zoom to.
Additionally, you're using data in 4326 on a map in 900913, and haven't
put in a projection option on your layer
(http://docs.openlayers.org/library/spherical_mercator.html#reprojecting-vector-data), so this won't work until you do that as well.
I appreciate that our documentation is imperfect. (Help welcome on that
front.) However, complaining about that when you have clear usage errors
is frustrating to people who might help you.
(I will give you credit for following
http://docs.openlayers.org/help/minimize.html#publishing-your-problem at
least, since without that, there's no way we'd see the problem.)
