This frustrated me for quite some time.  I believe it's a problem with
the file /etc/dt/config/Xinitrc.gnome (I say "I believe" because I fixed
it a couple months ago =) ).

Here's my file:

# X session startup script
PATH=/opt/gnome/bin:${PATH}
GNOME_PATH=/opt/gnome
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/gnome/lib:${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH GNOME_PATH PATH

exec /opt/gnome/bin/gnome-session

I seem to recall the didn't set up the LD_LIBRARY_PATH.
