Gconf problem

[franck routier <franck.routier@axege.com>]

Hi,

on a freshly installed laptop, installed via netinst tracking unstable,
I am unable to start gnome.

I get an error window stating :

"There was an error starting GNOME Settings Daemon.
Some things, such as themes, sounds, or backgrounds settings may not
work correctly.

The Settings Daemon was restarted too many times.
The last error message was :

Failed to activate 'OAFIID:GNOME8Settings8Daemon'
GNOME will still try to restart the Settings Daemon next time you log in
"

If I click ok, then I get a green/blue screen with only the mouse
pointer...

Where can I look for ?

Thanks,

Franck
