This sounds like one of the GNUstep components (e.g. gdnc, gpbs) is not starting correctly. Do you see any output confirming this on your console? I believe that GNUstep applications will try to start these services if they are not already running and wait. If they crash on startup, then they will try again a few times until it works. > Then the only thing that is visible is the menu bar, star menu, and > the clock.

That sounds like there is no window manager running. Did Azalea start? If it crashed, did it give any output before doing so? All of the Étoilé components currently log a huge amount of debugging info to standard error. It would be really helpful if you could include this.
