message, everything seems to work OK.

It means you're running an unstable version of gnome :( I started
getting this error on ALL our systems when upgrading to 2.16.something
from 2.14.something.

How can I either:
1. Get the Gnome Settings Daemon to run

Hold down ALT and hit F2, and type:
/usr/libexec/gnome-settings-daemon

That's the path on my system. It may be different on yours. You can try
( in a terminal ):
which gnome-settings-daemon

to try to find it.

or:
2. Get it to stop trying so I don't get the stupid error message

That's a damned good question. I'm all ears.

Since I am not apparently having any problems, either solution is
acceptable. Thanks in advance for any help.

Your gtk themes and possibly other things won't work properly without
it.
