Vadim Zdrastvutye! The 'gnome settings daemon' is gconfd. If you start individual Gnome applications, they will try to start gconfd for you.
I experienced problems with gconfd when it's (writable) configuration files are in a path which somewhere contains spaces. I think you have to go to somewhere in /etc/gconf but I can't remember the exact path. Some digging around on this mailing-list you might find some more pointers to the configuration file which you would need to change. (I de-installed all things Gnome because it didn't work well enough for me, for my needs, so I cannot find it for you on my own PC) Perhaps the error messages you get when trying to start, for instance, standalone gconftool from an xterm are useful enough for you to point you to the right file; they were somewhat helpful for me although it took me a long time to realize that even though they pointed to an existing and writable location, the blocking problem was spaces in the pathname of my $HOME directory! Luck getting it to work, --Tim -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of vadim Sent: donderdag 7 september 2006 17:15 To: [email protected] Subject: [Cygwin-ports-general] gnome settings daemon Hi all, when I execute "startgnome" I get an error message telling me, that "there was an unknow activation error" when trying start "settings daemon". Do you know what am I doing wrong? Well, and nothing works actually ...
