After updates ~2 weeks ago, the gnome-settings-daemon will not run in gnome and crashes every time you try and start it. The Bizarre thing is that the gnome theme settings are fine under kde4 with the gtk-qt configuration. When you attempt to open gnome-appearance you get the following error dialog: --------------- Unable to start the settings manager 'gnome-settings-daemon'. Without the GNOME settings manager running, some preferences may not take effect. This could indicate a problem with Bonobo, or a non-GNOME (e.g. KDE) settings manager may already be active and conflicting with the GNOME settings manager. --------------- I have killed anything kde-ish and it still will not run. When run from the command line, the following error is displayed: (gnome-appearance-properties:4251): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_object_unref: assertion `G_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed Needless to say, none of the themes work in gnome and all gtk apps look horrible without themes. The funny thing is, that when you first start the Appearance settings, all you settings appear and look correct for a couple of seconds until it crashes, then it all goes back to the unthemed state. Let me know what else you would like me to send. I have posted to the openSuSE list and to gnome-dev list, but I haven't gotten any fixes. Thanks. (~/.xsession-errors is attached) Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. open gnome control panel 2. choose 'Appearance' 3. It crashes Actual Results: See 1,2,3 above Expected Results: The gnome setting daemon will run normally and allow you to use the appearance settings. -- 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.
