Well after re-installing all of gnome once, and testing and then
re-installing up to gdm (minus rebuilding the webkits) I still have the
wonderful error message of oops something went wrong and the system could
not recover.

Looking at the journal log files I find the below wonderful error:

Now this is just plain BS.  gnome-settings-daemon is most certainly
installed.  I even checked all of the directories mentioned in the
gnome-settings-daemon.pc file.

I get the exact same error if I disable the display manager, reboot and
login at console, manually startx and run gnome-session.

I don't know much about Gnome, but I'd say one of thwo things could cause the problem:

1. A run time library or executable is not available where the app is looking.

2. There needs to be some service running via dbus that is not available. That could possibly indicate some kind of race condition.

I'll download the source for gnome-session and gnome-settings-daemon and see if I can see anything. In the meantime, check ldd for both to see if they find all their dependent libraries.
