Comment 2 for bug 197759

I was seeing a "parse error" after trying to start gnome-settings-daemon,
right after a line about "xrandr", so for now I move the following 2 files
elsewhere:

./usr/lib/gnome-settings-daemon-2.0/libxrandr.so
./usr/lib/gnome-settings-daemon-2.0/xrandr.gnome-settings-plugin

and I am able to start a gnome session with my previously configured
settings. Apologies I don't have a copy of the error message I was seeing, I
could try returning those 2 files to their original locations.

Thanks!
