New System Can't Get Gnome3 Working

I've been following the Wiki Beginers Guide for installing Gnome3 on a new system and for some reason now this is the 2nd time it's failed:

I've installed:

- xorg-server
- xorg-xinit
- xorg-utils
- xorg-server-utils
- dbus
- ttf-dejavu
- gnome
- gdm

Once I configure my rc.conf with the proper start up daemons and fuse module, I get the following error on reboot when trying to launch Gnome3:

** (gdm-binary:1072): Warning **: Failed to aquire org.gnome.displaymanager
** (gdm-binary:1072): Warning **: Could not aquire name; bailing out

Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong and or missing? I've tried following the Wiki twice and got the same results :(
