This points to D-BUS and avahi not running on your system.  Try adding
either:

gnome_enable="YES"

or

dbus_enable="YES"
avahi_daemon_enable="YES"
avahi_dnsconfd_enable="YES"

to /etc/rc.conf, then reboot.

If you still get problems starting g-s-d, try running it manually from
the command line (/usr/local/libexec/gnome-settings-daemon) after you login.

Thanks for reply,

I have added 

gnome_enable="YES"
dbus_enable="YES"
avahi_daemon_enable="YES"
avahi_dnsconfd_enable="YES"

in /etc/rc.conf bu without success... I think that gnome-settings-daemon is running but with some problems...it eat about 60 - 90 % of CPU...My whole gnome2 is up to date

thanks

Trigve
