Can you give the exact message and (while the message is open) the
output of "ps ax"? gPodder does not display these settings, so this
might be related to gnome-settings-daemon or similiar.

Neither gnomevfs nor gconf is used. Maybe they get invoked by GTK/PyGTK?

gPodder does not explicitly start them. All gPodder does that could be
related is load the PyGTK module. I don't think this will start the
daemons mentioned. Can you please try to run gpodder with the
"--verbose" switch and watch your process list to see when these daemons
are started?

Can you try to remove the gconf package or stop gconfd-2 from running to
see if these settings are modified by gconf or gPodder? I suspect these
may be modified by gnome-settings-daemon, but please test to see which
one is the culprit here.

Please run gPodder with the "--verbose" switch and post the complete
output here.


Thanks,
