	Changes in bonobo-activation which allowed us to not
unset the $SESSION_MANAGER env var in bonobo-activation-daemon
caused gnome-settings-daemon to try and connect to the
session manager. I fixed it by having g-s-d not connect to
the session manager (it shouldn't). You need gnome-control-center
2.1.1 if you're using HEAD or a recent CVS version of the 
gnome-2-0 branch. We could really do with a release of gnome-2-0.

	Hmm. I hadn't realised the activation of g-s-d was
an async activation - why the deadlock was occuring, I now
have no idea ..

Good Luck,
Mark.
