This is not likely to be a gnome-settings-daemon issue really. It doesn't register with the session manager (it just fork()'s when all the plugins are loaded). Even if it doesn't do this in time, the phase timeout is only 10 seconds anyway so wouldn't account for a 3 minute delay. It seems like the panel fails to register too, and the GVFS error will only occur if gvfs-gdu-volume-monitor is not contactable (it should be d-bus activated). There seems to be something fairly fundamental wrong or missing from your session, which basically stops most components from working.
Is this a fresh install? Has this install ever worked, or did you change something? Could you please try logging in to a failsafe xterm session from GDM, and then running "gnome-session --debug 2>&1 | tee gnome-session.log", and attach the resulting file to this bug report.
