I encounter this bug in Gutsy (clean install and normal kernel) just after the login. This is the third or fourth time that I have found this bug and I would like to mention here.
Just after the login there is an error popup (in french) and the icon theme of my system is changed.
You can see a screenshot of my screen here (note that the icon theme is not the normal ubuntu theme) :

The translation of the error message is :

"There was an error during the startup of the Gnome preference daemon.
Some features, like themes, sounds or wallpapers may not operate correctly.
The last error message was :

Failed to connect to socket /tmp/dbus-f55Haym6uz :
Conection denied

Gnome will try to restart the preference daemon the next time you log in."

When i restart everything is fine (no error message and the ubuntu theme is normal).
The frequency of this bug is (roughly) one per ten boot.
