Details

Just upgraded to gdm 2.14.7-1 and now X bombs when gdm tries to load gnome. ~.xsession-errors as follows:

/opt/gnome/etc/gdm/PreSession/Default: Registering your session with wtmp and utmp
/opt/gnome/etc/gdm/PreSession/Default: running: /usr/bin/sessreg -a -w /var/log/wtmp -u /var/run/utmp -x "/opt/gnome/var/gdm/:0.Xservers" -h "" -l ":0" "althalus"
/opt/gnome/etc/gdm/Xsession: Beginning session setup...
/opt/gnome/etc/gdm/Xsession: ssh-agent not found!
/opt/gnome/etc/gdm/Xsession: Setup done, will execute: /usr/bin/dbus-launch /opt/gnome/bin/gnome-session
Failed to start message bus: Failed to read directory "/opt/gnome/share/dbus-1/services": No such file or directory
EOF in dbus-launch reading address from bus daemon

I restarted X, dbus, ssh, to no avail. I have dbus loading in my daemons array in /etc/rc.conf. Dropping back to init 3 and starting a gnome-session from startx loads gnome fine.
This task depends upon
