More info. Starting gnome using gdm works! This is a much better alternative than to run gnome-panel in WindowMaker, it was ages since used it last time. However, maybe it is still a dbus problem as the bug postings indicate. We'll see in due time.
My .xinitrc contains only exec gnome-session, when starting X from a tty. BTW: I'm updating according to unstable right now and it seem that not all gnome-* packges are upgraded to 2.24 yet.
