I made a wrapper script around gam_server that outputted the debug
log to a file. It is still the same problem of two gam_server's starting
up. One succeeding in getting the socket the other failing.
gnome-settings-daemon is indeed running, but try changing your gtk theme
in the theme manager and it will fail to notice it. One work around this
is to add gam_server to your session and make sure it is loaded first.

Maybe if the gam client retried for 5 seconds or until it connected to the
gam_server or spawned a gam_server that works? But that still feels
hacky to me.
