gnome-settings-daemon no where to be found

Hello again .. Ive read about this posted earlier but I cant find a solution to that problem anywhere..

Ok so Ive been using linux for a few months now, and only through KDE. Ive tried several other WM .. actually probably every one of them at least once, all but gnome.

Now I do not have an internet connection, so just installing gnome through scripts or whatever wasnt an option. SO I have downloaded all packages and dependencies (yes, its got to be something like 60 files) manually and and installed them all.. libgnome gnome-desktop libbonoboui bla blah etc etc etc ..

Now, when i run gnome-session I get an error about loading gnome-settings-daemon.. I dont have that program anywhere on my computer. It doesnt seem to be in any of the gnome-* packages ive downloaded either ..

And when i try to installed metacity I get an error about unable to load a certain file .. IO error or something .. like the package is corrupt or whatever ..

Anyway, im asking just out of curiousity as I have given up on gnome .. i was just intrigued but Ill stick to kdemod for the time being. When I get my new laptop, kde4 will be out my then and Ill probably go with that.

Thanks
