For the startx error type the command as root: chmod 755 /etc/gconf/gconf.xml* and after restart everything will work. Check and the premissions on the /tmp.

I'm using GSB on Slack 13 32 bit and I had the same problem. I used TracerBullet's fix and it turned out to libsoup-gnome. The SlackBuild omits the gnome portion of the lib.

I had a similar problem in SUSE recently, I followed these steps and they fixed the clock applet error. All you need is the missing libs.

Steps to Fix: 1. find the applets file: I have it under vim /usr/lib/bonobo/servers/GNOME_ClockApplet_Factory.server

Then searching for location of the applets execitable file: cat /usr/lib/bonobo/servers/GNOME_ClockApplet_Factory.server | grep location location="/usr/lib/gnome-panel/clock-applet"> location="OAFIID:GNOME_ClockApplet_Factory">

Searching on libs, which it is missing: ldd /usr/lib/gnome-panel/clock-applet | grep "not found" libcroco-0.6.so.3 => not found

And install the missing libs.

I found the fix here. Hope it helps.
