Two kind of problems:
- dependecies: make sure you have 'gtk+3.0' and 'gnome-themes-standard'
  (latest will pick some themes and fonts...) You should see a striped
  blue bg after login.
- in my case I get kicked off because gnome-settings-daemon hangs on
  libnsl (from glibc). I am thinkin on how to debug it (how to launch
  g-s-d on a gdb shell and dump the output somewhere...)

Check if you have something like this in your dmesg:

gnome-settings-[2556]: segfault at 7fb8612fb1d0 ip 00007fb8612fb1d0 sp 00007fff830282d8 error 14 in libnsl-2.12.1.so[7fb8639dc000+15000]

gnome-settings-[3723]: segfault at 7f42989871d0 ip 00007f42989871d0 sp 00007fffa8d55858 error 14 in libnsl-2.12.1.so[7f429b068000+15000]

If yes, at least I'm not the only one :).
