Still not fixed for me either. Latest beta, i7 640-LM, OCZ Vertex 2 SSD.
My session is a bit special, I don't start a normal gnome. It looks like this: florian@hermione ~ % cat /usr/share/xsessions/compiler.desktop [Desktop Entry] Name=Compiler Comment=AWN and compiz Exec=gnome-session --session=compiler TryExec=gnome-session Icon= Type=Application X-Ubuntu-Gettext-Domain=gnome-session-2.0 florian@hermione ~ % cat /usr/share/gnome-session/sessions/compiler.session [GNOME Session] Name=Ubuntu Required=windowmanager;panel; Required-windowmanager=compiz Required-panel=avant-window-navigator DefaultApps=gnome-settings-daemon; mb21, anything like this applies to you as well? Also, when I'm in the session, I cannot kill the original gnome-settings-daemon with a SIGTERM, only a SIGKILL seems to do something... Also, for some reason, it does not happen when I use a self-baked zen kernel.
