As of 2.20.0-0ubuntu5 , gnome-settings-daemon works ***if and only if*** it's display is a Xgl one.
When I first upgraded to gutsy, I had Xgl enabled and settings-daemon was working. Since Xgl does not behave well in my notebook, i've disabled it, and since then, settings-daemon would crash with the above message.
Executing Xgl :1 and gnome-settings-daemon with DISPLAY=:1 works. I've tested it with a fake user i've just created: settings daemon runs ok as long as I don't disable Xgl.
