I run fluxbox not metacity and I don't use gnome-session; I have no 
session manager.  Here's what I had been running in my .xsession to 
start up gnome-settings-daemon:

gnome-settings-daemon &
GSDPID=$!
while lsof -u$USER | awk 'BEGIN { found = 0; }
        ($2 == "'$GSDPID'") && ($8 ~ /orbit-'$USER'/) { found = 1; next }
        END { exit found }'
do
        sleep 1
done
sleep 1

after some advice I got on the list.  What command would I run to "start 
up" gnome settings under the new 2.6 stuff now that 
gnome-settings-daemon is gone?

Thanks
