Hi, The user is never supposed to see that message. It means the system is broken beyond the user's ability to repair it. It's debatable whether showing the dialog at all is worthwhile. settings daemon is located ion /usr/libexec/gnome-settings-daemon. It manages things like theme preferences, starting the screensaver, deciding which file chooser backend to use, setting up keyboard maps. It's a pretty lowlevel program that users shouldn't need to know about, but if it's not there will make the desktop behave oddly. There was an SELinux/DBus mismatch in rawhide right last week. I think the problem has been resolved? Are you still seeing this issue with today's rawhide? Problem has cleared. The general issue of poor error popups in fedora is still one of my pet peeves though. Nobody intends for errors to occur, but they do. I know what you mean. Anyway, going to close this one out RAWHIDE. |
