Ive done some testing with gdm over the last fe days.  I can get the
"gnome-settings-daemon" problem to go away and not give it to me but I
still cant get gnome to load up from gdm and as of right now I am out of
ideas.  It doesnt give me any kind of errors or anything, it just sits
there and does nothing once the Gnome splash screen loads up and goes
away.
