I have had the same errors (among others).

>Do you have any ideas?

Change the following code in gnome-settings-xrdb.c to make it compile:

--------------
static void
append_xresources (GString *string, GError **error)
{
	const char* home_path;

	g_return_if_fail (string != NULL);

	home_path = g_get_home_dir ();
	if (home_path == NULL) {
		g_warning (_("Cannot determine user's home directory"));
		return;
	}
	char *xresources = g_build_filename (home_path, USER_X_RESOURCES,
NULL);
--------------


into

---------------
static void
append_xresources (GString *string, GError **error)
{
	const char* home_path;
	char *xresources; 

	g_return_if_fail (string != NULL);

	home_path = g_get_home_dir ();
	if (home_path == NULL) {
		g_warning (_("Cannot determine user's home directory"));
		return;
	}
	xresources = g_build_filename (home_path, USER_X_RESOURCES, NULL);
-----------------

(In C, your variables should be declared at the top of the function.)

This worked for me. I am still compiling myself, but normally changing
these two lines of code should have no effect.

Cheers,
Kris
