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

[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
