Hey all,
first of all, the problem started after the update yesterday. At the moment, my system is up-to-date without any testing packages. My dbus is started in /etc/rc.conf by the entry of hal. It certainly runs according to `ps ax`. But now after login to gnome it takes some minutes (which is longer than usual) and then the following message shows up:
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:
Failed to connect to socket /tmp/dbus-sxaWRBhjCI: Connection refused
GNOME will still try to restart the Settings Daemon next time you log in.
The funny thing is, that /tmp/dbus-sxaWRBhjCI does not exist in /tmp, see here:

My gnome session starts anyway but e.g. the panel looks in default style. The funniest thing is in the end, that I can start gnome-settings-daemon in terminal (after gnome started) and everything starts looking as it was. See here:

Can anyone help me in fixing this? Or does anyone experiencing the same problem? Thanks in advance.
Edit: I tried the gnome-session-daemon from testing (and its dependencies), but this caused that gnome did not start at all!

I encounter the same problem as yours. If I start gnome-settings-daemon in the terminal everything runs fine then...

You shouldn't just install one package from testing, especially not when it's the GNOME desktop that doesn't have ABI stability warranty.
How do you start gnome?

No, at least I did not install only one package from testing. In the beginning, I just updated as usual and I was never using testing packages before. I only started trying some testing packages when the described problem occured. I guess I use gdm in order to start gnome (how do I find that out precisely?). And as far as I remember gdm was updated right before the problem occured the next time I logged in.
If there are any further debug messages you need, just tell me.

Same problem here, I never use test packages, all I did was update normally and the next time I logged in I got the exact same message aneiser described.

same problem...
Der Konfigurationsserver konnte nicht kontaktiert werden; mögliche Fehlerquellen sind, dass TCP/IP für ORBit nicht aktiviert ist oder auf Grund eines Systemabsturzes alte NFS-Sperren gesetzt sind. Unter http://www.gnome.org/projects/gconf/ erhalten Sie weitere Informationen (Details - 1: Verbindung zur Sitzung konnte nicht abgerufen werden: Failed to connect to socket /tmp/dbus-GQ8eIpBcxB: Verbindungsaufbau abgelehnt)
Beim Starten des GNOME-Einstellungsdämons ist ein Fehler aufgetreten.
Möglicherweise funktionieren einige Dinge, wie z.B. Themen, Klänge oder Hintergrundeinstellungen nicht korrekt.
Die letzte Fehlermeldung war:
Failed to connect to socket /tmp/dbus-KmOC2nTOQD: Verbindungsaufbau abgelehnt
Beim nächsten Anmelden wird GNOME weiterhin versuchen, den Einstellungsdämon neu zu starten

The same problem (no packages from testing). Bugreport?
Offline
Bugreport?
Well, I did not search if there's already a bug report, and you can file a report if you want, but since the maintainer of the gnome packages (forum user JGC) has already seen this forum thread, it is not necessary I think. It's more necessary to fix this....;)

Yeah man, that's it! It solved the problem for me. I should have searched the bug reports, though. I mark the thread as WORKAROUND FOUND.

Newest dbus update solves this problem.
