Error when Gnome2 Starts

[Mannequin* <mannequin@primary.net>]

Hi all,

I just upgraded to Gnome 2, and I was wondering how to go about fixing
this problem. I've erased all of my Gnome/Gnome 2 prefs, and I've
installed everything I can think of that would deal with this problem.

Anyway, here is the error message that pops up when Gnome 2 is starting:

************************************************************************
There was an error starting the GNOME Settings Daemon.

Some things, such as themes, sounds, or background settings may not work
correctly.

The Settings Daemon restarted too many times.

The last error message was:

Failed to activate 'OAFIID:GNOME_SettingsDaemon'

GNOME will still try to restart the Settings Daemon next time you log
in.
************************************************************************

I also have a problem with gkrellm2 showing up in my task bar when I
have it set specifically not to.

Before I forget, I'm running a Powerbook G3 Firewire under Debian
Testing. (With some Unstable packages...)

Thanks!
