Hi
Just to update:
added gdm_enable to rc.conf and created new account.
New login (and new login window) working. Screensaver working.

Desktop -> Admin -> Login Window: still getting could not launch menu 
item error. Although someone suggested this needs to be run as root. 
This means i should be prompted for my root password?

Other Admin options, still prompted for root password, but still saying 
i have entered a wrong password. weird thing is, networking works. I can 
open this, use my root password and it works. Very strange why it would 
work for one application and none of the rest...

One thing i should mention... I have a user account with the same 
password as my root account. I know this isnt a good idea, but i was 
wondering if maybe this might be having some effect???

Anyway, all in all, this is excellent and thanks very much to you guys 
for helping me out. Im really liking the new updates to gnome.
