Then, switching to gnome, get an immediate error: ------ There was an error starting the GNOME Settings Daemon. Some things, such as themes, sounds, or background settings may not work correctly. The last error message was: Message did not receive a reply (timeout by message bus) GNOME will still try to restart the Settings Daemon next time you log in ------ I find gconfd-2 running as follows: /usr/lib/GConf/2/gconfd-2 11 Stopping the process 'gconftool-2 --shutdown' properly closes the process. Attempting to start with /usr/lib/GConf/2/gconfd-2 12 makes no difference, as does starting with no number: /usr/lib/GConf/2/gconfd-2 Same thing, The normal theme appears for 2-3 seconds, then the settings daemon error appears and it all goes back to crud. I'm also attaching the most recent xsession-errors in case that help. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
