------------------------------------------------------------
This is a fresh install of arch. After the login screen(i'm using gdm) , gnome simply doesn't boot to desktop. Sometimes the desktop icons appear, but I can't do anything with them, but usually it just shows the desktop background, no bar, no nothing. If I right click somewhere in the background -> change to tty[x] -> and back, it shows a gray box with nothing in it, as it would show for example in a menu. has anyone experienced this problem? thanks

how did you install gnome? you should have installed gnome and gnome-extra, then add hal and fam daemons to daemon list in /etc/rc.conf

are you referring to Xorg.0.log in the /var/log ? well ... that's just enormous, but I read it and no errors were thrown.
if you are talking about the xorg.conf I modified it according to the beginners guide. I was tweaking it earlier, and if I didn't choose a DefaultDepth it shows a black background with the mouse pointer on it. if it has the DefaultDepth set to 24 it shows the background image ...
