None of the proposed solutions so far works for my setup at all.
Specs:
Distribution: Ubuntu 11.04 64Bit (Actual machine, NOT a virtual machine)
Codename: Natty Narwhal
Desktop: Gnome 2
CPU: Intel Quad Core 2 Extreme, X9650, 64Bit, (3GHz per core)
GPU: GeForce 8800 GT
GPU MEM: 512 MB
GPU MEM Interface: 256 MB
GPU VBIOS: 62.92.24.00.00
MoBo: Asus
MoBo MEM: 4GB
Right clicking on the desktop and selecting "Change Desktop Background" results
in the following error message:
Unable to start the settings manager 'gnome-settings-daemon'.
Without the GNOME settings manager running, some preferences may not take
effect. This could indicate a problem with DBus, or a non-GNOME (e.g. KDE)
settings manager may already be active and conflicting with the GNOME settings
manager.
Any attempt at starting the gnome-settings-daemon such as:
sudo gnome-settings-daemon
results in the following error messages:
** (gnome-settings-daemon:6805): WARNING **: Failed to acquire
org.gnome.SettingsDaemon
** (gnome-settings-daemon:6805): WARNING **: Could not acquire name
Here is the output from "apt-cache policy gnome-settings-daemon"

Any attempt at killing and restarting the gnome-settings-daemon produces no
significant change.
I will list one debug output with elevated privileges, and one without.
Here is the debug output after killing and restarting the
gnome-settings-manager with elevated privileges:

The program 'gnome-settings-daemon' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation)'.
(Details: serial 193 error_code 2 request_code 154 minor_code 30)
(Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line
option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)
This should confirm that this problem still exists on a non-virtual
actual hardware install of Ubuntu 11.04.
Questions:
1.) Can some one please change the status for Natty to confirmed or something
that more accurately reflects the evedence given in this post?
2.) How can I test this further?
3.) Are themes for Natty completey and perminantly busted by this problem?
