no session management in gnome 2.24

i upgraded to gnome 2.24 and taken care of doing it from the console.

(1) now session management is not working:
if i select autosave window on logout in session management properties
nothing is saved because when i login i got empty desktop.

anyone ?
is it an upstream bug ?

(2) sometimes (i don't know when), i got an ugly grey look for the top bar and all the decoration. when i launch appearance pref i got an error dialog that tells me that gnome-settings-daemon is not running ! if i choose again clearlook theme, i got everything back to normal. it happens only twice

(3) running compiz does not work with some method on the wiki. the one using a .desktop in /etc/X11/sessions and WINDOW_MANAGER variable. it's because the varaible is not taken into account with this new gnome ?
(3.1) switching desktop (or viewport) with gnome pager with compiz-fusion 0.7.8  running make crashes almost all gnome toolbar desktop ... and WM ? but i can change viewport/desktop with compiz without problem

Re: no session management in gnome 2.24

here is the error dialog when i launch apperance preferences from system menu:

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

so it says: can't launch gnome-settings-daemon because of bonobo or any non-GNOME WM
i got no compiz running
it happens when i logout more than 2 times. and relogin may too fast and a daemon hasn't shutdown yet ??

Re: no session management in gnome 2.24

Thanks for this. I was losing my mind. New to Arch and sessions didn't work in my gnome either. Figured I had done something wrong. Guess not..

Another error her is that the systray icons randomly go to the panel, and the other times they get their own little windows..
