"There was an error starting the GNOME Settings Daemon.
Some things such as themes, sounds, or background settings may not work correctly.
The Settings Daemon restarted too many times.
The last error message was:
Failed to activate 'OAFID:GNOME_Settings Daemon'
Gnome will still try to restart the Settings Daemon next time you try to log in"

I did an 'apt-get update' in console mode followed by an
'apt-get -f -u dist-upgrade --fix-missing'
which installed a new gnome-terminal, and then 'reboot -n' and
found myself with the GUI working but all GNOME fonts very tiny.
I've had this trouble before but not this extent - GNOME fonts first changed to
thick black (which I thought was due to 'gnome-accessibility-themes')
then thin and spidery, and I've received some verison of the OAFID error message before.
I've been having trouble with ugrading GNOME things due to a broken
/file-roller/ pkg. When I try 'dpkg --configure' I get the following msg (below).
***I've filed a bug report at GNOME but nothing has changed***
Any ideas ? It's a bit panful to be looking at extremely tiny font.
