I am running Gentoo (2005.1 with testing portage tree) with Gnome 2.12.3.
Whenever I login into gnome, either as normal user or root, I am presented

The Settings Deamon restarted too many times.
Last error message was:
Child process did not give an error message, unknown failure occured
If you can find out what's starting the daemon,
try having it start it under strace or gdb. That would
at least give you some idea where it's failing.

I found out gconf was failing because I had removed gstreamer (trying to
solve a dependency issue under Gentoo) without realising what exactly
depended on it. So I guess something requiring gstreamer interacted with
gconf and took it down with it. I suppose it would've been nice to have
gotten a bit more info somehow from gconf but after reinstalling gstreamer
all is fine now, sorry for the noise
