rebooted PC.  Display manager started with login page displayed.

Login as root

Gnome-light started with its logo displaying a while and faded out with
following warning:-
- There was an error starting Gnome Settings Daemon
- Something such as themes, sounds, or background setting   
  may not work correct
- The Setting Daemon restarted too many times
- The last error message was
  There was an unknown activation error
  Gnome will still try to restort the Settings Daemon next
  time your login
* * * END * * *


Evoked Xterm window
# shutdown -r now

Gnome-light started and died as previously.

Before I was not aware gnome-session not coming with gnome-light and
gdm not installed.
