Bug#404876:

[Giovanni Cataldi]

Hi guys!

I found the same problem today installing Debian on my old ibook (Debian
SID):

Here the logs... but I don't think they are really useful. However I
have the same "GNOME Settings Daemon" error logging in Gnome.

I didn't yet tested all stuff here proposed, but I'm ready to provide
you all additional information you could need.

Actually, I can say that installing libvisual-0.4-0 doesn't solve for me
the problem.
