I think this should be a beta milestone blocking bug. Why isn't it? https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+milestone/ubuntu-8.04-beta It's made my desktop pretty ugly and un-configurable for up to a week now. Surprising that more people aren't seeing this issue. Thanks -- error starting GNOME

I concur with mattismyname. Users on (at least intel based laptops) will experience this bug AFAIK. It should be beta blocking unfortunately. -- error starting GNOME Settings Daemon https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/199960 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu

I'm trying to run this through gdb, but it seems there are no debugging symbols for gnome-settings-daemon, and I can't find any dbg package that goes with it. I'll attach the output of gdb anyway, in case there might be something useful, but I doubt it. ** Attachment added:

Hi guys, Well, perhaps we can try brute forcing it to stop crashing with a workaround. I've prepared a new version which lets us whitelist the drivers/devices this is allowed to run on. Namely, this limits it to not run on 855 or on drivers other than intel, ati, etc. Could you please test
