You'll want to start with X.org: http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/xorg-config.xml
And then one of the DE or WM specific howtos in http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/?catid=desktop

Try first by running:
Code:
emerge -uDNav world

That should pull in plenty of stuff, including sys-apps/hal and sys-apps/dbus and sys-auth/consolekit

After that add hald dbus and consolekit to the default runlevel and start them.

BTW, the branding USE flag is included in the desktop profile, so there is no need to enable it again in /etc/make.conf and/or /etc/portage/package.use, though you still could if you want.

Did you change your profile from 10.0 to 10.0/desktop ?

That's explain why he didn't have hal or dbus when he started.

... just a guess, maybe after setting the profile to desktop, running emerge --deep --newuse world was forgotten.

You could try again after trying a different mirror in the GENTOO_MIRRORS line in /etc/make.conf.
