Re: gnome difficulties
Sorry. I can't be of any help in resolving this issue. Just wanted to know that I had a similar thing happen some months ago on my home machine. After some upgrading etc gnome started acting weird. I too got the notices abotu gnome-settings-daemon and some other ones about sound or about gnome-panel applets. Actually everything still seemed functional but all the icons in the menus were gone. I tried for quite a while to fix gnome without any success and ended up reinstalling the entire system (for a non-related reason).
I would be very interested to know why this happens with gnome, how to prevent it and how to fix it (other than a full reinstall)

A few days ago the gnome panel and nautilus lost significant
functionality. I'm running AMD64 debian. When I log in, the gnome pane
appears, but does not become populated with icons. It blinks several
times and then I get a variety of similar behaviors. Either:
1. I get a message the nautilus has died and the gnome-panel has died
2. I get a message the the gnome-settings-daemon has tried to start too
many times
After I click close on each of the buttons, the panel does become
populated with icons, but I have no control over the theme.
I have started filing a bug report with gnome, but the behavior on crash
is complicated enough that I have had to start over a couple of times.
I'm wondering whether Debian plays a role.
