Package: gnome-settings-daemon
Version: 2.28.1-2
Severity: grave
since today gnome-settings-daemon refuses to start here. this happens
not only in my current account but also using a newly created one.
when I run gnome-settings-daemon under X in from a shell the X session
terminates immediately
running it from console (not X) via
DISPLAY=:0.0 gnome-settings-daemon
it fails to start up with this assertion
(gnome-settings-daemon:11171): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_param_spec_internal: assertion `(name[0] >= 'A' && name[0] <= 'Z') || (name[0] >= 'a' && name[0] <= 'z')' failed
system is an up-to-date sid.
