The following worked for me. I was getting the message when the desktop
loaded and it only happened when I switched to autologin. I didn't have
any other symptoms except the actual error dialog but the following
fixed it. Heres a quote from a post on the forums located here ->

BEGIN QUOTE
okay after reading the above mentioned bug report it would appear that Dbus
needs to start before Hal and GDM last. so the oder would be
Dbus-->Hal-->GDM
With a fresh install of Gutsy I looked in the "/etc/rc2.d/" folder and found
S12Dbus
S12hal
S30GDM
So I renamed S12hal with
'sudo mv /etc/rc2.d/S12hal /etc/rc2.d/S13hal'
Then I did a
Sudo Reboot
Also I have an Nvidia 8800GTX card so at the grub menu I hit Escape and
edited the startup line at the end where it said "splash" to "nosplash".
Now everything is fine!
