Hmm maybe, but the following .xinitrc seems to work fine for me:

--------------------------------------------------------------------
setxkbmap dvorak gb

xmodmap ~/.xmodmaprc

sh -c "gnome-settings-daemon & sleep 2; gnome-panel & nm-applet &" &

brightside &

~/src/not-mine/lisp/stumpwm/stumpwm
--------------------------------------------------------------------

I don't remember putting in the sleep command actually, but I presume
that there was some sort of nasty flicker when
I ran gnome-panel too quickly (It probably comes up with horrible fonts first)

Maybe this is some help for you?
