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:

======================================================
It appears that polkit or pulseaudio is not working?
Thanks-
