"greeter crashing" and dbus out of phase?

[G.Wolfe Woodbury]

Newly updated to all the updates-testing RPMs and getting two errors on login.

"The greeter appears to be crashing" appears.  /etc/sysconfig/desktop was
empty,
but inserting DISPLAYMANAGER=GNOME did not cure the problem.  No apparent traces
in dmesg or /var/log/messages.

The power manager complains that it cannot start until dbus is active, but a ps
examination shows dbus running.  I suspect that something is running power manager
before dbus comes up.
