So far, I've gone into KDE, and tried to go back to Gnome, and started a simple WM (IceWM), and tried to go back to Gnome. In both cases, the gnome settings daemon fails to start when I login again. The last time this happened, it went away when I rebooted. All the error messages say is 'unknown error', which isn't very helpful. What information can I gather for you that would help?
Update. If I logout, it seems that there is still a copy of gconfd2 running. If I kill that, and then login, all is well. Seems that gconfd2 should exit when I logout.
See bug #109449, You have to kill leftover prosesses from last gnome session before logging in again.

Fedora Core 1 is now maintained by the Fedora Legacy project for security updates only. If this problem is a security issue, please reopen and reassign to the Fedora Legacy product. If it is not a security issue and hasn't been resolved in the current FC3 updates or in the FC4 test release, reopen and change the version to match.
