Yes. It didn't complain in any way during configure or make. But now
that I think of it, several programs have complaints about control
center. For example:

daniel@i203:/usr/local/bin$ gnome-edit-properties-capplet 

** WARNING **: Unable reach the control-center.
Exiting...

So it doesn't seem to be correctly installed. Perhaps this is causing
a lot of my problems.

Sure did.

If you mean libxml: yes, if not: no, where do I find that?

gnome-session behaves kinda strange to me. When I have that in my
.xsession, it starts three copies of everything else in my .xsession,
ie. 3 xterms, 3 xemacs etc...
