Package: gnome
Version: 1:2.24.3~2squeeze1
Severity: normal
When I log in and start Gnome, I get a popup box with the following message:
---------------
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.
---------------
The problem is persistent. It does not go away when I logout and login again.
Rebooting does not fix it either.
/var/log/syslog is attached, incase it helps (gzip'ed)
