Gnome Session error !

Hi after 3 days searching and trying i ended up using enlightenment but i am an gnome user so

when i log into gnome i get this >

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:

Process /usr/bin/gnome-settings-daemon exited with status 127

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

my running daemons >

DAEMONS=(syslog-ng network netfs crond ntpd dbus hal gdm)

always gives that message  with gdm on daemons or just typing startx with exec gnome-session

Important > during my first install of gdm +gnome +gnome-extras , gnome-session was not installed as dependencies ,i only noticed that after gtkpacman installation so  i did a second gnome install and now gives me this error !
I noticed gtkpacman is not reliable and reinstalled everything with pacman -S!

When using another window manager like fluxbox or e17 if i run nautilus as root on terminal gdm starts on top of them!

Re: Gnome Session error !

Hi axept,
try to delete these folders in your home directory (you lose all the custom settings):

.gconf
.gconfd

Re: Gnome Session error !

Hi ,i did that before reinstalling gnome and again now ,still no chance .Even with another new user i got same error.

Maybe with a fresh install ?!
Damn...

Edit:

Ok ,i did a fresh install with gnome only ,and now it works but gives same message when i run gnome-control-center as root on terminal (there's no gui for it)!

i think there's a bug somewhere but i can live with it...

Thx.
