Yes. I use a minimal LXDE environment. And sorry for not making that clear.
Stupid me.

Yes. I have gconf (as a dependency of evince), and I see that when
evince is started, a process named gconfd-2 runs. I thought this was
the settings daemon evince needs. I didn't know there was a
gnome-settings-daemon package.

But do you know what this error causes? If it is a harmless warning
message, I think it is better to ignore it than install
gnome-settings-daemon, which pulls 24 other packages.
