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.

The same errors occurred. I'm attaching the new user xsession-error, syslog, ps ax, and screenshot as well. Notice, the screenshot was what the screen looked like after login. (I moved a dialog to put it in the middle, but that was it) The xsession-error, syslog and 'ps as' capture the state of the session. Something is definitely messed up. In the syslog, you can see there was a gvfs-fuse error 23 seconds (before) the new gnome session. It looks like the gvfs-error tripped a memory check on the fglrx driver and then then new session started at 17:54:30. I don't know what the rest of the stuff means, but I do know it adds up to a messed up gnome session. Let me know what else I can send. Thank You for your 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.

With Thunderbird 3.0.4, the problem persists: I tried to start gnome-settings-daemon while using thunderbird today so that the fonts would look right. It crashed.

Can I provide more information that would help? I sure would like to get this thing fixed. It is really annoying to have the fonts in all the gtk apps messed up when the gnome-setting-daemon decides to check out and not start again. Let me know if you need anything.
