Yes and no. On linux/x86 I just need to start gdomap. Once gdomap is 
started, the other daemons will start automatically and work fine. (If 
gdomap is not started before attempts to automatically start them are 
done, but results are often broken). I just put gdomap in my startup 
script of the X11 session. This is handy, since gdnc for remote displays 
needs to be started differently than local ones.

On other platforms, most notably BSD based ones, there are heavy 
troubles starting things automatically. Since I have now a NetBSD/x86 
box I can exclude also "exotic" architectural problems. I confirm that 
on netbsd I need to start gdomap first, gdnc then. gpbs and others gets 
started fine. INterestingly, if gdnc is started automatically by an 
application it does start (as seen with ps -aux) but it doesn't seem to 
work and the application complains it can't contact gdnc.
