I can confirm this... starting GNOME with the clock set to 1904 is impossible.
nautilus, gnome-settings-daemon and gnome-panel show an error dialog saying
that they can't register with bonobo and that's it. some months ago there were
no error dialogs but nothing happened at all
** Changed in: gnome-session (Ubuntu)
Status: Unconfirmed => Confirmed
