[solved]gnome-settings-daemon problem

majikstreet · 2007-12-28 21:28:29

hi..
gnome has decided to be strange.. I was adding keyboard layouts so that I can change them and all the programs in gnome started to look like gtk (not gtk2) programs.. I'm able to select the theme I want (Clearlooks) and it looks okay in that window.. I've tried restarting gdm and it works for a few seconds then it switches back and forth between the gtk and gtk2 looks until it settles on gtk... It's hard to explain..

Any ideas?

thanks in advance,
majikstreet

Oh yeah.. I just remembered this.. I got some message, but I recently set my computer up in French and I don't know what all of the message means xD..

Il y a eu une erreur lors du démarrage du démon des préférences GNOME.

Certaines fonctionnalités, comme les thèmes, les sons ou les fonds d'écran peuvent ne pas fonctionner correctement.

Le démon des préférences a redémarré trop de fois.

GNOME essaiera de redémarrer le démon des préférences la prochaine fois que vous vous connecterez.

From what I understand, it means that there was an error with opening the preference daemon for gnome? or something like that..

Hmm.. I've figured out that it has something to do with gnome-settings-daemon.. I started it myself in a terminal window and everything is working now.. But, it still isn't fixed because I have to start it myself.. Here's the output from starting it:

when trying to open my keyboard settings window I get this:

Impossible de démarrer le gestionnaire de paramètres « gnome-settings-daemon ».
Sans le gestionnaire de paramètres de GNOME activé, certains paramètres peuvent ne pas prendre effet. Ceci peut être dû à un problème avec Bonobo, ou un gestionnaire de paramètres non-GNOME (par ex. KDE) est déjà actif et entre en conflit avec GNOME.

I think it means something is wrong with Bonobo?
