I can confirm this bug. Running Hardy, gnome-settings-daemon fails to start if xserver-xgl is installed.
I attach a screenshot. As a result everything looks ugly, and configuration (e.g. autostart) is not applied. I also experience keyboard problems (using Hungarian layout, the modifier AltGr (right alt) is ignored, can not type a pipe as a result). ** Changed in: ubuntu Status: New => Confirmed ** Changed in: gnome-settings-daemon (Ubuntu) Sourcepackagename: None => gnome-settings-daemon ** Attachment added: "Screenshot-1.png" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/12622006/Screenshot-1.png -- Gnome fails to load settings with xserver-xgl installed https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/198046 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-settings-daemon in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
