Using the tried-and-true SWAG method, my only idea is that maybe your
gnome-session is not being started with dbus-launch. I notice that
/etc/X11/Sessions/Gnome (used by gdm) was recently changed to remove the
use of dbus-launch, and I'm inclined to think that was a 'misteak'.
How are your gnome-sessions being started?
