Bug#245848: capplets: gnome-settings-daemon fails to start in unstable

[Jimmy Ott]

Package: capplets
Version: 1:2.6.1-2
Severity: Important 
Followup-For: Bug #245848

Same Problem as mentioned before in experimental:
I'm running GNOME 2.6 from unstable. Every time I try to start
GNOME, I get a message that gnome-settings-daemon failed to start
because it restarted too many times. Then I get a desktop without my
theme loaded.

When i start /usr/lib/control-center/gnome-settings-daemon in terminal,
i'm receiving the following output:

ott@epeios:~$ /usr/lib/control-center/gnome-settings-daemon  

** (gnome-settings-daemon:2079): WARNING **: Could not activate the XKB configuration
The program 'gnome-settings-daemon' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadRequest (invalid request code or no such operation)'.
  (Details: serial 115 error_code 1 request_code 0 minor_code 0)
  (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
   that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
   To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line
   option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
   backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)

The Theme is loaded many times, but it appears only one second, and disappears
one second after. Ten times flashing, the Errormessage above pops up.
