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:

======================================================

dialog: Unable to lookup exe for caller

with 'auth_admin_keep_always'
Mar 27 14:55:55 linux pulseaudio[22319]: main.c: Called SUID root and
real-time/high-priority scheduling was requested in the configuration.
However, we lack the necessary priviliges:
Mar 27 14:55:55 linux pulseaudio[22319]: main.c: We are not in group
'pulse-rt' and PolicyKit refuse to grant us priviliges. Dropping SUID
again.
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-
Dan
