Re: Settings Daemon

[Jan <jan seismo ifg ethz ch>]

Thanks Mario for your hints and the url.
(Unfortunately) I never have Gnome1.x installed.
There is no existent GConfd running in background.

"There have been cases of the initial login to GNOME 2 not going quite 
smoothly and a lot of errors about CORBA connections not being completed 
popping up in error boxes (and nothing else starting). This can be 
probably fixed by stopping the session (returning to the gdm screen or 
to the command prompt) and then (in a terminal) removing the 
/tmp/orbit-user directory (and all of its contents), where user is 
replaced with the appropriate user's login name."

That seems to be my problem !
But I have no /tmp/orbit-"user" directory.

What can I do now ?


regards,

Jan
