Bug 141998

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.5)

Description of problem:
While I login I get the message
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.
The last error message was:
Child process did not give an error message, unknown failure occurred
GNOME will still try to restart the Settings Daemon next time you log in.

I have attached /tmp/xses-michal.ADRqWc which contain messages 
like 
Warning: program compiled against libxml 206 using older 204.

I submitted this as a bug Bug 160370: Gnome Settings Daemon failure
in http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=160370 and the response
was 

This is a distribution problem. See "Warning: program compiled against
libxml
206 using older 204"
You need to update the libxml2 package.

The libxml2 are the most recent

[michal@ml-cvu ~]$ rpm -qa | grep libxml2
libxml2-python-2.6.16-3
libxml2-2.6.16-3
libxml2-devel-2.6.16-3

The only solution to this problem is to back up user's directory,
delete user/recreate user, and restore data. But after a few 
logouts/logins I get the above message on the desktop and the 
warnigs in /tmp/xses file. This problem occurs in my default user
account. I was not able to reproduce it in other accounts which I 
own on the same machine.

When I try to invoke 

[michal@ml-cvu ~]$ gedit
gedit: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libgtksourceview-1.0.so.0:
undefined symbol: xmlNewTextReaderFilename

This problem seems to be related to FC3. I did not have it 
in the previous versions starting from RH Linux 9 and upgrading
to FC1, and FC2. 




Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
libxml2-2.6.16-3

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create new user
2. Login 
3. Logout

  Repetitively, login/logout, reboot 
    

Actual Results:  [michal@ml-cvu ~]$ evolution
evolution: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libgnomevfs-2.so.0: undefined
symbol: xmlNewTextReaderFilename
[michal@ml-cvu ~]$ gedit
gedit: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libgtksourceview-1.0.so.0:
undefined symbol: xmlNewTextReaderFilename


Expected Results:  I should not have to have above errors.
