It sounds like you are logging in in a way that doesn't grant you normal console privs. How are you logging in?
I use e16 as a desktop so no GDM...it that the issue then?...for pulseaudio as well you think? I have always just run e16 with 'startx' and have an '.Xclients-default' in my homedir...can GDM be setup to run e16 instead of the default clutter?...and would that solve the problem?
Yes, this is bug 806491 Run 'startx -- vt01' (provided you are on vt01, use whatever vty you are on). Does everything work then? Yes, gdm will offer anything with a .desktop file in /usr/share/xsessions/ as a available session type.
I assume startx fixed this? Please re-open if not and we can try and track it down further.
