Check the permissions of the various GNOME files and directories in the
user's home directory. I've seen something like this when the user was
unable to write to the necessary files.

I checked the .gconf and .gnome2  and even the .gnome2_private, but it
looks OK to me.  I even put a session file  in the users .gnome2
directory changing the current directory to his home directory, but it
will not run.  Very strange.

This is probably silly, but perhaps you'd want to check and make sure
dbus and hald are started at boot, and add them if they aren't.
'rc-update add dbus default' and rc-update add hald default' would do
the trick.

Yep, don't know what it all means, but here it is.

[gentoo-user] Problem using gnomeas non-root user

2007-03-13 Thread John covici 
Hi.  If I try to log in using gdm as a non-root user, it logs me in,
but does not even run gnome-session.  If I run that by hand, it runs
some things, but if I want to change some settings I am informed that
the gnome-settings-daemon cannot start a new dbus session.  Both dbus
and hald are started and working if I log in as root.

Here is my emerge --info
