Description of problem: At the end of the startup several windows flash by, ending with a window which begins with (translated from Dutch): "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:" "System exception: IDL:Bonobo/GeneralError:1.0" After closing the windows, everything seems to work nicely. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): ??? (problem occurs from the moment I updated from FC4 to FC5) How reproducible: Always when starting up. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Turn computer on 2. (I need to use interactive setup to block kudzu: running kudzu hangs the computer with only the power-button working) 3. Actual results: (as described above: flashing windows + window with messages) Expected results: No such windows at all. Additional info: About the kudzu-error: I think there are already two recent bug-reports on this error. Component-choice: I just guessed.
I'm afraid this isn't very useful. Could you please try to launch gnome-settings-daemon by hand, after having logged in in failsafe mode? Which errors do you see on the command-line? Do you still see this problem on your current setup?
The problem occurred on a notebook-computer. Five months ago I removed FC 5 from that computer, so I'm afraid I can't offer any additional information.
Thanks for the notice, closing then.
