again.  No change.  It still goes all wiggly on me and finally
gives me the second error popup.  (The first error popup isn't
expected at this point -- I answered "Delete" the first time it

On an off chance, I rebooted the system.  Still no change.  Still
all wiggly.

Interesting difference -- Now it stays wiggly forever (well -- for 5
minutes or more).  I never actually see the error popup, and the
wiggles never go away.

Looks like gnome-settings-daemon is dying again and again.

Yes. I can confirm that repeated "ps" gives different pids each time for gnome-settings-daemon .


Is there any relevant output in your ~/.xsession-errors file ?


it looks like this:

Xsession: X session started for rick at Thu Dec 28 18:45:08 EST 2006
SESSION_MANAGER=local/debian:/tmp/.ICE-unix/3460
Gnome-Message: gnome_execute_async_with_env_fds: returning -1
Unable to open desktop file epiphany.desktop for panel launcher

Does that help?
