gnome-settings-daemon failes to start with Xgl

[satkata]

Binary package hint: gnome-settings-daemon

I'm using the latest Hardy Beta with Compiz 0.7.2 and wanted to try Xgl so I installed xserver-xgl package.

After restart xgl started normally but on login I got a message-box, that the gnome-settings-daemon
failed to start several times.
So I got a the fallback gtk1 look. There were another inconsistencies too, but guess these are follow errors because of gnome-settings-daemon not being started.

After I returned back to normal Xorg/aiglx with compiz everything starts normally.

I don't know if this could be a Xgl bug, so if so, I'll report it there if necessary.
If you also need further information, I'd be glad to help, but I couldn't find anything in the logs, so
instructions are welcome.

I run xgl too and I've got exactly the same bug since my Gutsy −> Hardy Beta upgrade (today the 03∕30). When i try to launch gnome−settings−daemon, i get this error message:

Error: X was unable to determine screen size range for window 82
parse error
Error: X was unable to determine screen size range for window 82
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

This seems to be a known bug ( see http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=4609834 )

Same problem after updating to Hardy. After disabling Xgl, everything works fine.
