I haven't used Gnome for a long time, but what I do remember is that sometimes deleting the .config dir was the only way to solve certain problems. This is true sometimes for programs that have nothing to do with Gnome. 
Obviously, don't delete the entire .config folder, just the .gnome(2) or sometimes even the .gconf stuff.
Instead using rm, cp the dir to something else, such as .gnome_bak, then re-login. That way, you can open .gnome_bak and copy back settings you want to keep.

I've deleted all the .config and .gconf folder and reboot...nothing, the gnome panel don't appear again.
I've re-setting the UTF-8 correct for all the system, but nothing changed.
It's very strange: if I launch | Code: | | killall gnome-panel |
the desktop bar appear and all seems work right.  |

It's fantastic... | Code: | # emerge -vuDN world
These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

You can check in .gnomerc_errors if there's anything there.
Also check your logs for gnome-settings-daemon (and try to check if it crashed when the session opened).
If you happen to find any error(s) that could be tracked down to a solution.

| Unfortunately, I haven't the .gnomerc_errors file and in the log for gnome-setting-daemon aren't present messages. |

err... gnome-settings-daemon should give a little verbosity in your logfiles _if it's launched_, and gnome won't work well without gnome-settings-daemon. Check if it's running, and double check your logfiles (/var/log/messages) for any gnome-settings-daemon output (if you grep, don't forget the 's' in settings).
As for .gnomerc_errors, it should be in your homedir, if there aren't any, that would mean gnome didn't encounter any error, so the issue could be before gnome even tries to launch anything.
I'm sorry I don't give you precise directions, bue that seems such a long time to me since I went for gnome-3 (and I had so many problems since I can't even remember gnome-2.32 issues).

No problem, thanks for your help...

Apr 25 18:20:27 web&hardware dbus[17010]: [system] Successfully activated service 'org.gnome.SettingsDaemon.DateTimeMechanism'

Did you run emerge --sync first? If you did, there is NO way you will get that output unless there is something seriously wrong with your system.

And you can see the portage packages being updated while it's syncing? If you update and then immediately try to update again, you might get a "nothing to do" condition, but definitely, after waiting 24 hours, 48 at the most, something should say "we have an update for that". If not, that would cause me to rebuild my system from scratch, although I'm sure there are better hackers than I here who would know how to fix it without having to start from zero.

I don't get it, it's the standard portage output when there's nothing to do.

Normally, I launch | Code: | | eix-sync && emerge -NDuav world |
one time a day; the last update is finished about 20 minutes ago.

I hope this, because I'm don't know what I must do again...
...I'm trying to create another user...
With a new user all seems works fine. |
