By modifying the Slackware startup files to start garnome files is 
incorrect. They won't start because garnome won't be in the library search 
path. dbus is likely NOT loading.

If you're going to use dbus or hal from slackware, use the originals, do 
not use garnome. That said, follow the readme and do what it says. It does 
not say start dbus, hal, and avahi in your system startup scripts. It says 
to start it as a user after killing off similar system processes.

So
1) kill system dbus, hal, etc.
2) start garnome's dbus, hal, etc.
3) set paths as indicated and start a gnome session.
4) do not use garnome in system startup scripts. garnome is intended to be 
per user.
