Doing a make install in
gnome/control-center/work/main.d/control-center-2.3.4/libwindow-settings
fixed the problem here.  

Because libwindow-settings wasn't installed, libtool used the system
libgnome-window-settings.la (from gnome-control-center debian pkg). Which 
contains a reference to /usr/lib/libgnome-desktop-2.la, but that doesn't
exist so it throws an error. After installing there is a
~/garnome/lib/libgnome-window-settings.la with the correct refrences
