This is due to a bug that affects users that install gnome for the first time. Check the bug report for more info (there is also a script that you need to run):

Get the script posted in the bug report (link above) and follow the instructions. I haven't tried it so I can't be more specific.

no worries 8)
download the file to some place... I'll assume you put it in your home folder.
in a terminal do the following:
$ cd ~
$ chmod 777 gconffix.sh
$ su -c ./gconffix.sh
--- it will ask for the root password here, then run the fix ---

there's a "cascade" option... which will remove everything that depends on gnome... I can't recall the option though.... do a "pacman -Rh" and see which one is cascade....
