Description of problem: If the dbus-x11 package is not installed, the gconf daemon cannot be started when logging into gnome desktop. Without gconf, there are no user preferences. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gnome-session-2.15.92-1.fc6, however, I'm not sure if gnome-session is the right package to required dbus-x11 How reproducible: always
This doesn't seem right to me. 1) gconfd-2 doesn't use dbus 2) it gets started automatically by libgconf--it doesn't need to be started manually I'm guessing this is a gnome-settings-daemon problem. moving to control-center
No dbus-x11, so no dbus-launch, so no session bus, so no gnome-settings-daemon (as it uses the session bus). The control-center needs to depend on dbus-x11.
Fixed in control-center-2.18.0-16
