dbus issue (plus others) in 10.2


After a fresh install of openSUSE, I have quickly encountered three problems. The first two only took effect after a small update which removed a couple packages, seemingly without direct replacements.

1) After logging into gnome I am presented with the error:
There was an error starting the GNOME Settings Daemon.
Some things, such as themes, sounds, or background settings may not work correctly.
The last error message was:
Failed to execute dbus-launch to autolaunch D-Bus session
GNOME will still try to restart the Settings Daemon next time you log in.
This happens every time. When I try to launch gnome-theme-manager, a pop-up message similar to the previous reads:
Unable to start the settings manager 'gnome-settings-daemon'.
Without the GNOME settings manager running, some preferences may not take effect. This could indicate a problem with Bonobo, or a non-GNOME (e.g. KDE) settings manager may already be active and conflicting with the GNOME settings manager.
gnome-settings-daemon is not in $PATH, though I'm uncertain if it should be.

2) launching banshee fails and prints the following to STDOUT:
$ banshee
Argument cannot be null.
Parameter name: key
System.ArgumentNullException: Argument cannot be null.

3) Least pressing issue, just irritating: every time I log into gnome, I am prompted for a the keyring password in order to pass my WEP key to NetworkManager, but after that, NetworkManager prompts me for a key anyways.

I appreciate any assistance available, thanks to all who attempt to help.
