I've been having this as well since upgrading from Gutsy to Hardy. Same basic problem and error messages, but error info is slightly different.
~$ gnome-settings-daemon ** (gnome-settings-daemon:32689): WARNING **: The X Server does not support the XRandR extension.

This probably reflects a bug in the program. The error was 'BadWindow (invalid Window parameter)'. (Details: serial 3728 error_code 3 request_code 20 minor_code 0) (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously; that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it. To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.) ~$ ~$ sudo aptitude show gnome-settings-daemon Package: gnome-settings-daemon New: yes State: installed Automatically installed: no Version: 2.22.1-0ubuntu2 Priority: extra Section: gnome ~$ ~$ lspci | grep Graphics 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82945G/GZ Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 02) ~$ -- Error starting gnome-settings-daemon while logged in via vnc https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/239342 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
