I use gnome 2.30.2 in gentoo.
When I open keyboard shortkey settings, It gives me below message:

Unable to start the settings manager 'gnome-settings-daemon'. Without the

I have installed 'gnome-base/gnome-settings-daemon' and choose
'gnome-settings-daemon' in Startup Application.
I have tried adding ' eval `dbus-launch --exit-with-session --sh-syntax` '
in ~/.xinitrc and ~/.xsession .
Both failed.

My computer is  thinkpad w500 notebook.  I can not increase volume or
decrease volume using thinkpad's function key.
I also can not open 'Volume Control' in 'Preferences' .

Above failure is when I use ordinary user. When I login use 'root' user, I
can open 'Volume Control' and change volume.

Both ordinary and root user have some shortkeys not working.

I use GDM to login in GNOME.

I have installed E17 environment.
Now I have remove all E17 package. But the problem still exists.

What is the matter ?
Thanks a lot!
