no login interface for gnome.

Hi All:

My FreeBSD unit enters into gnome with gdm. But no any login available and just a very small white figure on the black screen. The figure can be moved by mouse. But that's all. System stalled there.

Following is the log file:

Exact same issue here.

If I run gnome programs manually, like in fluxbox, they still don't work. nautilus --disable-sound --sm-disable does nothing - top says nautilus is running, but nothing ever shows up on the screen.

If this shows any obvious solution, here are some programs that never manage to run, for me anyway:
thunar
nautilus
metacity
gconf-editor
gthumb
gnome-dictionary
gnome-about-me

And here are some other gnome programs that do run:
gedit eog gcalctool epiphany gnome-panel cheese
 
I don't know for sure if this is the same issue xwwu has, but here is some more info on my problems. I compiled metacity with debuging symbols (-g) and now it says the following:

Code: 
Window manager warning: Failed to contact configuration server; some possible causes are that you need to enable TCP/IP networking for ORBit, or you have stale NFS locks due to a system crash. See http://www.gnome.org/projects/gconf/ for information. (Details -  1: Failed to get connection to session: Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken.)

Exactly the same error with gthumb with debugging symbols.

When compiling with -g, some programs seem to work, but they give error messages. gnome-dictionary gives the following:

Code: 
(gnome-dictionary:83759): GnomeUI-WARNING **: While connecting to session manager:
Authentication Rejected, reason : None of the authentication protocols specified are supported and host-based authentication failed.
