The
only way I could fix this problem was to blow away
$HOME/.gconf and start over. This is the 4th time
I had
to do
this to restore gnome settings as somehow it gets
corrupted from time to time.

I have found that the personal Settings->Sessions has the settings to start
the gnome-volume-manager, and the current sessions shows that it is
"included", however the icon fails to appear.
I looked into the message (log) file and I wonder if the following is related
on logging in:

Mar 27 14:55:55 linux pulseaudio[22319]: main.c: For enabling real-time scheduling please acquire the appropriate PolicyKit priviliges, or become a member of 'pulse-rt', or increase the RLIMIT_NICE/RLIMIT_RTPRIO resource limits for this user.
======================================================
It appears that polkit or pulseaudio is not working?
Thanks-
