    Guys.....
    I've got debian box (sid) with 2.4.25-1-686 kernel
    installed,Gnome 2.4, GForce4MX440 with
    NVdia-Linux-x86-1.0-5336 driver from Nvidia website.
    Everything ran well untill today,..when I start my
    debian box ( after 'having affair' with Win-based
    games ), my gnome show this right when the splash
    screen up :
    -------------------------------------------------------
    " Application gnome-setting-daemon has crashed ( error
    xxx )due to fatal error ( Aborting )"
    -------------------------------------------------------
    where the xxx is a various error code number.
    I can't give you the number cause it too various, and
    this 'error window' shows up for many times so I have
    to click close untill it comes up anymore.
    The last 'error window' tell me :
    -------------------------------------------------------
    "There was an error starting the GNOME Settings
    Daemon.

    Some things, such as themes, sounds, or background
    settings may not work correctly.

    The Settings Daemon restarted too many times.

    The last error message was:

    Child process did not give an error message, unknown
    failure occurred

    GNOME will still try to restart the Settings Daemon
    next time you log in.
    ------------------------------------------------------
    However, if I'm loggin in as root ( I'd allowed root
    to log in with Gnome ), there's no error..

    Thank you very much for your help....

    --wellz--
