No, all of my installations were from ports. At least one and I think
two other reported the problem on Gnome built from ports.
In my case, I only see the slow startup, not the crashes. Others have
reported that the crashes happen only when starting from GDM. Those using
startx seem to only have the slow start.
The issue of not talking to the session manager was fix for two of us by
changing .xinitrc to use:
exec ck-launch-session dbus-launch --exit-with-session gnome-session
I was using "exec dbus-launch --exit-with-session gnome-session" when I
was getting the messages.
Here is the console log of my X startup. Some of the errors are in
applications and clearly not related to the delayed startup of the
panel.
