Have you followed the 2.16 upgrade guide at http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/desktop/gnome/howtos/gnome-2.16-upgrade.xml Especially the part about a local dbus session having to run? Do you use gdm now with lower dbus? (with newer dbus it just needed a revdep-rebuild probably) If you do use gdm, then dbus session should be taken care of, but if you use startx with a non-Gnome XSESSION you might have the trouble described in the upgrade guide. Please clarify which method are you using for log-in now, so that it can be known if it's an unknown problem.

My gnome-settions-daemon isn't falling to start
I'm having a similar problem to hmbr. I use gdm, have dbus-0.62, and since upgrading to Gnome 2.16, my dbus sessions don't appear to be starting. Do I need to recompile dbus with the mono USE flag? I reinstalled gdm completely (removing its files in /etc/X11/gdm by force), and that hasn't made any difference.
I updated to dbus-0.91 and got a new error. Now, my session won't start at all, and it complains that it can't find {$exec}/bin/dbus-daemon.
I was wrong in that one; that wasn't the issue. It couldn't find a file (libdbus-1.so.2). I symlinked libdbus-1.so to that file, just to see if things would work, and that makes gnome start (previously a session wouldn't even start), but no more luck with the dbus session. I'm now getting the following: libgnomevfs-WARNING **: Failed to open session DBUS connection: Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken. Volume monitoring will not work. Segmentation fault.
`gnomesu gdmsetup` doesn't launch as expected, however `gnomesu dbus-launch gdmsetup` does. I'm not familiar with the exact reason why it's needed, as I'm ignorant of DBUS and the HAL's inner workings.
it's because gnome is requiring session bus for more and more components. So, if you are not running a gnome desktop, don't forget to launch a session bus if you want to use some of gnomey apps. Add it to your .xinitrc and such.
The missing libdbus-1.so.2 can presumably be fixed by revdep-rebuild, although it's possible that gdm is not compatible with 0.9x of dbus. The unable to connect to session bus error has been fixed by a bump of gnome-vfs. I can configure gdm via it's menus, and via gksu correctly.
