hi
I am using debian 2.6 kernel .
When i log in , the screen which i am greeted with doesnt show any
activity in the background screen .i.e i dont get any pop up when
i click mouse on my background , no icons in my desktop screen and
having a constant color .
this problem pervades through all display manager and desktop
environments . i have tried (gdm,kdm)*(kde,xfce,gde) but all have
the same problem .
when i login to gde it shows the following error message :
"
There was an error starting the GNOME Settings Daemon.
Some things, such as themes, sounds, or background settings may not
work correctly.
The Settings Daemon restarted too many times.
The last error message was:
System exception: IDL:Bonobo/GeneralError:1.0 : Child process did
not give an error message, unknown failure occurred
GNOME will still try to restart the Settings Daemon next time you
log in.
"
Can any body suggest how this error can be rectified ?
Thanx.

Pranay,
This sounds a lot like <http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?
bug=404876> What hardware are you using? Is it a G3 based OldWorld
PowerMac, by any chance? If so, does the workaround in the bug
report help? If not on G3 PowerMac hardware, then it's even *more*
interesting to know if the workaround helps!
Enjoy!
Rick
