the first time, i log into gnome works flawless, after logging out and
trying to log in again, the gnome settings daemon cannot be started
again:
There was an error starting the GNOME Settings Daemon.
Some things, such as themes, sounds, or background settings may not work
correctly.
The Settings Daemon restarted too many times.
GNOME will still try to restart the Settings Daemon next time you log
in.
trying to start gnome-settings-daemon from the terminal also fails:
tim at laptop:~$ gnome-settings-daemon
** ERROR **: You can only run one xsettings manager at a time; exiting
aborting...
however, gnome-settings-daemon must have already been terminated:
tim at laptop:~$ ps aux |grep gnome-settings-daemon
tim 9460 0.0 0.0 5012 732 pts/1 S+ 18:48 0:00 grep
gnome-settings-daemon
in order to start gnome correctly again, i have to reboot the machine
