Package: gnome-settings-daemon Version: 2.24.1-3 Severity: normal Hi, While opening a gnome session on VNC X11 server, I get a message saying that there was an error starting the GNOME daemon preferences - some features, such as themes, sounds or wallpapers can not function properly - the daemon restarts preferences too many times - GNOME will try to restart the daemon preferences the next time you connect...
..xsession-error reports: Xlib: extension "RANDR" missing on display "127.0.0.1:2.0". As far as I understand, xrandr is an optionnal X11 module, and VNC server do not provides it. gnome-settings-daemon should work without xrandr, isn't it?
