Gnome error

[Joe Dell'Orfano]

Sorry if I'm repeating stuff here, but I couldn't find reference to this
error in the mail list archives. I'm running fedora 0.95 with the smp
kernel on a pentium-4 class system. If I log out of gnome and log back
in I get an error with gnome-settings-daemon:

"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:
Child process did not give an error message, unknown failure occurred
GNOME will still try to restart the Settings Daemon next time you log
in."

Then it fails to load several of my panel applets. This error happens
every time I log out of gnome and log back in. The error goes away if I
reboot the computer, but it reappears if I log out and in again.
Interestingly, I can log out and in if I end the
bonobo-activation-server.

I have searched Google for an answer to this problem. It seems to be a
common error reported on multiple distros and as near as I can tell, it
is related to the control-panel version, although I apparently already
have the latest version installed.

Any help with this would be appreciated. If I am rehashing an old
discussion, my apologies.

-Joe
