I also get the same error message as the original reporter when I try to
start the appearances menu:

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 Bonobo, or a non-GNOME (e.g. KDE) 
settings manager may already be active and conflicting with the GNOME settings 
manager.

I'm having the exact same issue with updated Intrepid. After first login
I get no theme. I have to log out and re-login to get the proper theme.
I also get a seahorse-agent crash report (similar to bug #282663 ), I
don't know if these two are related somehow. Please let me know if you
need any logs.

Ok,

So today morning there was an upgrade related to audio (didn't catch the
name), after that, I could add the volume control icon and change theme
successfully :)

Thank you for your time.

I'm having this problem after upgrading from 8.04 to 8.10

same symptoms, no audio icon (and can't add it), re-installed compiz and
gnome and still nothing, I get this old-look windows and that error
message when opening the theme settings (and even if I change them, the
colors change a bit, but not the theme or icons).

I tried with safe gnome, same problem.

I did had some trouble in the upgrading process, I was using half-
intrepid for a while, and this happened when today I installed
everything it asked me to in the update manager :)

2007-10-10 Thread n3m3sis
I too have experienced this problem after the last update (tonights, 40
packages including 2.6.22.14 kernel headers etc..)


There was an error starting the GNOME Settings Daemon


Some things, such as themes, sounds, or background settings may not work 
correctly.


The last error message was:


Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did 
not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply 
timeout expired, or the network connection was broken.
There was an error starting the GNOME Settings Daemon


GNOME will still try to restart the Settings Daemon next time you log in.

Mine happened after changing the audio conferencing sound capture device from 
alsa to Nvidia 2. My desktop froze and and then the 3d desktop disappeared 
along with the transparency. I wen to the appearance section and found that the 
visual effects setting had been reset to none. I re-enabled custom effects and 
my 3d desktop came back with all the trimmings but I rebooted anyway  just to 
be sure everything was back to normal, thats when I got the above message
(on login to ubuntu root desktop). All seems to be okay except the text on all 
tool bars has become very small and also some of the icons have changed, such 
as the one to shut down/logout the user which is now a green man on the run as 
opposed to the usual power button icon. Also I'm getting that box come up if I 
try to enter the sound setting box or any item on the preferences menu although 
they selected item does appear after clicking ok on the error box

In my case problem was in package libtag from rusxmms project.
Gnome-settings-daemon hanging was caused by gstreamer hanging, and gstreamer 
hanging was caused by libtag.
After installing libtag from ubuntu repository, problem has gone.

That seemed to work.  Updated, uncommented the Synaptics entry in
xorg.conf and rebooted -- This time login proceeded without any
gllitches.  Of course, the mouse cursor now moves slow as molasses with
the touchpad now when it was fast before, but that's a different issue,
and a minor one.

Thanks!

2007-10-04 Thread Thom Pischke
Posted again here:

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 1600 error_code 2 request_code 146 minor_code 35)
  (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.)

2007-10-04 Thread Thom Pischke
Given all the mouse configuration references in the stacktrace, and
having read somewhere about someone having a similar problem being
caused by a bug with their touchpad, I tried commenting out the
Synaptics touchpad entries in xorg.conf.

Lo and behold, the gnome-settings-daemon problem goes away.  Unexpectly,
the touchpad still works.  Maybe there is some sort of fallback driver
for the touchpad that does not cause the crash.

[Bug 148291] Re: Unable to start the settings manager 'gnome-settings-daemon'.

2007-10-02 Thread Thom Pischke
tried running the daemon via the terminal, get the following:

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 1600 error_code 2 request_code 146 minor_code 35)
  (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.)
