GNOME settings daemon does not start

Thu Mar 20 00:03:32 UTC 2008

Hi,

since I upgraded a F8 installation to Rawhide, I get the following error
(in a pop up window) every time I log into gnome, no matter if it is
with my usual profile or with a fresh user:

-------
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.
-------

When trying to start the daemon manually, the following appears:

The gnome-settings-daemon-debuginfo is installed, the created bugreport
attached to this mail.

I am using the F8 kernel as the F9 one doesn't display my batteries, but
that's another topic.

Oh, and I already googled and found several references to dbus, so I
also posted the dbus-packages installed.

If anyone could help me to get my German keyboard layout back ... :-)

Thanks,
Dominik
