unable to access applications or actions menu

[gnomeac oasis draikes com]

Hello,
I just finished building garnome 2.8.1 on fedora core 2.
I enabled the accessibility support and started gnome.
All went fine the first time I ran it.
After properly exiting gnome via the actions menu, I restarted it later.
Now when I press <alt+f1> to access the applications menu, I get nothing.
Also if I try <alt+f2> to access the run applications dialog nothing happens either.

Below is the log of my session.
