Failed to activate:'OAFIID:GNOME_SettingsDaemon
After the most recent apt-get dist-upgrade I can no longer use the gnome
windows manager. If I start gdm it allows me to login but then displays
the Failed to activate:'OAFIID:GNOME_SettingsDaemon' message. If I
start kdm instead it allows a choice of windows managers. icewm works
but some things are missing - for example I have prog "Pysol" pysol
pysol in the .icewm/toolbar file along with other programs but Pysol
fails to appear on the toolbar (it use to) or in applications/games/card
(it use to) although it can still be run from a terminal. If, instead
of icewm, I choose gnome-session I get the Failed to activate message
and must stop and restart kdm.
I would appreciate any help or suggestions to solve this problem.
