Bug#538792: libglib2.0-0: There was an error starting the GNOME Settings Daemon.

[xueqianzhao]

Package: libglib2.0-0
Version: 2.20.1-2
Severity: important


I upgraded my debian testing today and when reboot, there was a dialog after login GNOME
as below:

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:

Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken.

GNOME will still try to restart the Settings Daemon next time you log in.

------

and then i checked my log and find
