[nevermind] g-s-d "Name taken or bus went away - shutting down"

Gnome-settings-daemon will not start and this is all it will tell me.

I am able to start it as another user (root), but not as myself.

It appears to be running, but cannot be found by "pgrep gnome-settings-daemon" it shows up with other gnome processes for "pgrep gnome".... I still cannot verify that it is actually doing anything, which is why I thought it wasn't running in the first place.

How could I check if it's claim "name taken" is true? What name of what is supposedly taken?

How could I bring the bus back if it "went away"? Does it mean dbus?

EDIT: I did try to get more info with --debug, but it isn't useful:

** (gnome-settings-daemon:27061): WARNING **: Name taken or bus went away - shutting down
** (gnome-settings-daemon:27061): DEBUG: Shutting down
** (gnome-settings-daemon:27061): DEBUG: SettingsDaemon finished
