I'm running FC3 on my ThinkPad T30. I did a clean install, and I'm not
sure if it started right after the install, or later on, but now each
time I boot, after logging in, I get this error dialog:
> There was an error starting the GNOME Settings Daemon.

Like the error suggests, I do have trouble changing themes and
screensaver preferences. Ideas of what might be wrong and what I could
do to fix it are appreciated.
Here's a screenshot of the error dialog:
