Thanks for helping Joe. I have done more research. 

The ##gnome people on freenode has just spent the last 3 hours locating the
problem. 

 

Here is what we have:

/var/logs/messages

http://pastebin.com/d69ce888

 

there is a permission problem with my dbus. We changed the system file

/etc/dbus-1/system.d/system-tools-backends.conf

 

And it almost worked but the original does not.

Here is my original: http://pastebin.com/d3a391b2c

The config we tried: http://pastebin.com/m1f0eb00d

And we returned back to the original. 

 

gdb shows the error pretty well but I'm unable to tread much into it. (Still
new at this)

http://pastebin.com/d1f1b9ffb 

 

And the advice from ##gnome on freenode

<borschty> so your problem is a file in /etc/dbus-1/system.d/ causing the
requests to be rejected

<borschty> this and the http://pastebin.com/d69ce888 log should be enough
for the bsd people to help you

 

So yes dbus is running. So is hald.

But drilling down it seems dbus has some permission problems

Make sure hald and dbus-daemon are running.  You should have:

hald_enable="YES"
dbus_enable="YES"

In /etc/rc.conf.

It also looks like you're trying to run GNOME as root which is not a
good idea.  Try running it as a regular user.
