Hi also had a problem with the gnome-setting-manager. For me it was related to a xserver problem. I found the solution to my problem in another bug report. Uninstalling xserver-xgl solved all my problems. I have an ATI Moblity Radeon 9600. I am now even able to use desktop effects, even without xserver-xgl. I had xserver-xgl installed since dapper. this laptop was updated from breezy-dapper-edgy-feisty-gutsy-hardy. It is probably time for a clean install. I hope this helps somebody.
