Same problem on a brand new clean install of 8.04B (but I am using a new GeForce 9600 with the proprietary 171.06 NVIDIA driver since there doesn't seem to be any resolution support > 800x600 available for that video card in Hardy. I can can compile in the nvidia kernel module and run it AOK, (1280x1024) but then, of course, any updating to a new kernel breaks it. Symptom is blank window upper left that eventually (after 5-10 mins) displays "There was an error starting the GNOME settings daemon". Now the resolution remains 800x600 only.
