Michele,
Thanks for the tip.  By loading several additional fink packages, 
crucially the control-center libs, I got pass the GNOME_Settings Daemon 
error, and do get to a rooted gnome window.  But still with lots of 
problems.  And now my fink seems to be broken.  When I get functional 
again, I'll pursue your gstreamer fix.
