Bug#476802: gconf2: gconfd fails to start at login

[Christian Pernegger]

Package: gconf2
Version: 2.22.0-1
Severity: normal


Since the last update of GNOME components a few days ago I get a
message every login saying that the GNOME settings daemon failed to
start (too many restarts) and themes etc. might not work (they don't).

Before this main error message a lot of similar ones pop up but are
gone too fast to read.

1) The messages are in German, how can I force them to be in English
so I can post the full text? Selecting en-US.UTF-8 in gdm menu does
not works, it only produces errors about the language not being
available and I can't set C locale from gdm.

2) Are the messages logged somewhere?

Thanks,

C.
