Try starting gnome-name-service first, that will keep them happy. This is what 
I do when I'm not running my X session with gnome-session, and I want to start 
a Gnome app.

What you might want to try is deleting or renaming the .gnome dir in your 
$HOME. I've found that the old configs can cause problems when you upgrade 
Gnome.

The gnome-name-service *should* be started by gnome-session, so if you're 
running your X session using gnome-session then it's probably your old configs 
causing the problems... Otherwise you can always start gnome-name-service by 
hand when you need it.
