Details

The gnome-settings-daemon errors from Gnome 2.14.0 are back in 2.14.1, with warnings about the daemon failing to start popping up while Gnome is loaded. Also, I've been noticing some other weird stuff - for example, if you tell the clock applet to show the date, it will sometimes (about 1/3 chance for each session) put the date above the time instead of next to it, even if the panel is set to such a size that there is not enough room for that. Also, after exiting Gnome (via menu entry), I sometimes get messages about gnome apps (usually the panel) losing contact with the X server - rather similar to the Kicker crash in KDE.
This task depends upon

I have deleted all .gnome2* and .gconf*, now it seems all ok.

Re-opened by Gullible Jones:

Working around this bug requires regular deletions of .gnome* and .gconfd directories, as that is a temporary fix - this should not be necessary.
