    I run fluxbox not metacity and I don't use gnome-session; I have no
    session manager. Here's what I had been running in my .xsession to
    start up gnome-settings-daemon:

    gnome-settings-daemon &
    GSDPID=$!
    while lsof -u$USER | awk 'BEGIN { found = 0; }
            ($2 == "'$GSDPID'") && ($8 ~ /orbit-'$USER'/) { found = 1; next }
            END { exit found }'
    do
            sleep 1
    done
    sleep 1

    after some advice I got on the list. What command would I run to "start
    up" gnome settings under the new 2.6 stuff now that
    gnome-settings-daemon is gone?

    Thanks
