As Joe said, you may need to run the gnome-settings-daemon.  I found the
same thing you did til I put
/usr/X11R6/libexec/gnome-settings-daemon &
into my .xinitrc.  (I use WindowMaker.)

I found that doing this overrides my WindowMaker settings for things
like mouse control and my desktop background.  Setting those in
gnome-control-center "fixed" it.  I don't know if there's a way to tell
the g-s-d "I don't use GNOME, so don't touch these things".

HTH,

Mike

But that's not that impressive if all you can make it do is go
