If I recall correctly (can't test at the moment due to hard disk failure) 
GNOME relies on DBUS working to get everything working proper.  I believe 
that the window list is part of that.  Try making sure that DBUS is in fact 
working.  You enable it by putting dbus_enable="YES" or similar (from memory, 
that hard disk thing) in /etc/rc.conf.  Since that only affects at boot time, 
either reboot or find the script (/usr/local/etc/rc.d/ somewhere, I should 
think) and start it.  Hope this does it for you,

Eric
