If you don't have the settings-daemon running then such an error would be expected. But do you know what this error causes? If it is a harmless warning message, I think it is better to ignore it than install gnome-settings-daemon, which pulls 24 other packages. It's harmless, so ignore it. If you are not using gnome as your desktop then you don't need the settings-daemon.

You don't appear to be running an actual gnome session nor do you have the gnome-settings-daemon package installed, am I correct? If you don't have the settings-daemon running then such an error would be expected.

You don't appear to be running an actual gnome session Yes. I use a minimal LXDE environment. And sorry for not making that clear. Stupid me. nor do you have the gnome-settings-daemon package installed, am I correct? Yes. I have gconf (as a dependency of evince), and I see that when evince is started, a process named gconfd-2 runs. I thought this was the settings daemon evince needs. I didn't know there was a gnome-settings-daemon package. If you don't have the settings-daemon running then such an error would be expected. But do you know what this error causes? If it is a harmless warning message, I think it is better to ignore it than install gnome-settings-daemon, which pulls 24 other packages.
