I can confirm this behavior. I just upgraded my system from jaunty to karmic, and I found that gnome-settings-daemon would not start when running a free-nx session. However, g-s-d started properly when I started a normal gnome session (no free-nx). Then I disabled the xrandr plug-in, and g-s-d was able to start in a free-nx session.

The crash does not happen when xrandr plugin is disabled. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/454487 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
