I can confirm on Hardy (2.6.24-12-generic i686) updated as of yesterday.

I was seeing this bug randomly on Gutsy, and stopped seeing it after installing dbus-x11.
Then I installed Hardy Alpha6 (fresh setup, removed root - also /home). The bug did not appear, until today (obviously, with dbus-x11 installed).
Starting gnome-settings-daemon manually returns the following messages:

$ gnome-settings-daemon
** (gnome-settings-daemon:14409): WARNING **: Failed to acquire org.gnome.SettingsDaemon
** (gnome-settings-daemon:14409): WARNING **: Could not acquire name

The difference from Gutsy is that everything works (I am using the default gtk2 and metacity themes, and all the elements of the GUI are well rendered ant themed). Obviously, the error message starting the session is the same old one.
