I can't solve your problem, but note (for example) that the current
version of gnome-desktop in MacPorts is 2.243. You installation
appears rather out of date.
How recently have you done sudo port -d selfupdate and port outdated?

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

quartz-wm --only-proxy &

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
