  Hello,

  Perhaps that you could try the paper of Fred Richman and Doublas
Briges : 'A Constructive proof of Gleason's theorem' in ps or dvi :

http://hypatia.dcs.qmw.ac.uk/authors/R/RichmanF/papers/gleason.ps.Z
http://hypatia.dcs.qmw.ac.uk/authors/R/RichmanF/papers/gleason.dvi.Z 

  Hope it helped,
                   Raymond

I'm not sure why Hypatia got into this thread.  You can get the
papers from Richman's home page:

    http://www.math.fau.edu/Richman/html/docs.htm

Alas, these wonderful papers are not in the arXiv. :-)

This paper, along with a commentary by R.I.G. Hughes, is
reproduced verbatim as appendix A of his book "The Structure
and Interpretation of Quantum Mechanics."

I realize that this may not help much.

I love the last sentence in the preface of this book: "Having
thus outlined my program and declared my allegiances, I leave
the reader to decide whether to proceed further, or to open
another beer, or both."

Regards,
George
