You are not logged in.
I just installed arch for the first time.
When I start gnome the login window displays this:
Could not connect to to ConsoleKit: Could not get owner of name
'org.freedesktop.ConsoleKit' no such name gnome-session[1606]:WARNING Could not connect to ConsoleKit: Could not get owner
of of name 'org.freedesktop.ConsoleKit.': no such name
also when I start a sakura terminal I get a message-box stating: "Could not acquire name on session bus"
And the terminal displays: "gnome-session[1838]: WARNING: Failed to acquire org.gnome.sessionManger"
the same thing happened with gnome-terminal when I tried it earlier

Have you got dbus running?

I changed startup daemons earlier in the /etc/rc.conf file to this: DAEMONS=(dbus syslog-ng network netfs crond)
and top shows dbus-daemon
But that just seamed make gnome start slower.

Your .xintrc should be
exec ck-launch-session gnome-session

Ok I changed my /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc to this:
twm &
xclock -geometry 50x50-1+1 &
xterm -geometry 80x50+494+51 &
xterm -geometry 80x20+494-0 &
xterm -geometry 80x66+0+0 -name login &
exec ck-launch-session gnome-session
and added hal to /etc/rc.conf daemon
DAEMONS=(syslog-ng network dbus hal netfs crond)
But I still have the same problem
note there is no xinitrc file in my home directry

do you use slim?
Give what you have. To someone, it may be better than you dare to think.

No I don't use slim or GDM. Should I they are just l Login Managers?

no. you only need exec ck-launch-session gnome-session in ~/.xinitrc

I put .xinitrc in home and gnome worked! Thanks for the help

I don't quite get what mephostophilis means by "put .xinitrc in home". Does it come from somewhere else on the system, or do I create a blank file named "~/.xinitrc" in my user's home directory?
And what if I haven't created a user yet? I am trying to start gnome as root (understanding that being logged-in as root is not a great idea). Is that the problem?
Thanks in advance for the help.

"~/.xinitrc" is a hidden file in a users /home directory.
I think the command 'ls -a' should list all hidden files...
Hope that helps.

but yes: if this file doesn't exist: create it!
(And read: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Startx - https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Xinitrc )
you should be able to run X as root, but it's not recommended.
Create a user ( https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Beginners'_Guide#Adding_a_User ) and try again.
