Unable to fully start gnome

Brand new iMac, used fink to install the gnome stuff.  My local .xinitrc has:

. /sw/bin/init.sh
quartz-wm --only-proxy &
exec gnome-session

I'm running in full screen mode, gnome starts then I get a box with this:

There was an error starting the GNOME Settings Daemon.

Some things, such as themes, sounds, or background settings may not work correctly.

The Settings Daemon restarted too many times.

The last error message was:

Failed to activate 'OAFIID:GNOME_SettingsDaemon'

GNOME will still try to restart the Settings Daemon next time you log in.

The net result is my panel has no apps and it seems there is little else there.  I run gnome on a linux box at work but can't seem to figure out the magic to get it to work on the iMac.  These are the packages I have installed:
