Set Of gnome issues

[jaideep_jdof]

I have installed gnome 2.6 on my netbsd 5 64 bit system using the pkgsrc's gnome meta pkg. I am facing certain issues with it:

1) Certain application like gnome 'keboard setting' gives a error message that

Unable to start the settings manager 'gnome-settings-daemon'.
Without the GNOME settings manager running, some preferences may not take effect. This could indicate a problem with Bonobo, or a non-GNOME (e.g. KDE) settings manager may already be active and conflicting with the GNOME settings manager.

After showing the message the util starts up. When i try to run /usr/pkg/libexec/gnome-settings-daemon on the terminal I get the following error:

** (gnome-settings-daemon:1523): WARNING **: Failed to acquire org.gnome.SettingsDaemon

** (gnome-settings-daemon:1523): WARNING **: Could not acquire name

2) In the notification area on gnome panel all the icons are invisible, I know they are there because when I move my mouse over i can see the tool tip messages.

3) My user is currently added to users and wheel group, what all groups i need to add my user to so gnome work properly.
