Ok, I got a real fix for the design problem in bonobo-activation, which got
triggered by both evolution AND gdm.

So, I suggest you grab files from http://people.mandrakesoft.com/~fcrozat/libbonobo/

With this, the gdm changes (NFS cookies) is not longer needed

I've got this problem severals times, sometimes it disappears magically,
sometimes i have to delete all my gnome settings ( ~/.gconf, ~/.gconfd,
~/.gnome ).

Situation :
- current cooker ( 2.4.22-10mdk, GConf-1.0.9-11mdk, GConf2-2.4.0.1-1mdk,
nfs-utils-clients-1.0.5-1mdk, kdebase-3.1.92-2mdk, metacity-2.6.1-1mdk )
- home on a NFS share ( vers=3, tcp, rsize=8192, wsize=8192, nosuid,
soft, intr, timeo=600 )
- NFS server = mdk 9.1 + soft RAID1 ( ext3 partition )

One more time again, I'm facing this "Gnome n'a pu démarrer le démon de
préférence. Pour l'instant il sera désactivé et vous n'aurez pas accès
aux thèmes, sons ... ) -> Gnome was unable to launch gnome preferences
daemon.
So i don't have theme ( ugly default one for style, color, theme,
nautilus icons ), can't launch some applets ( windows list/systray,
desktop switcher ) because of an OAFIID cryptic error ...

And i have nothing interesting in ~/.xsession-errors
This is not a locking problem on my nfs partition as I don't have the
message saying that gconfd had problem locking some files.
Nothing intersting too in /var/log/messages

It's incredible how easily I can break gnome ( nfs bugs -> gconfd
locking problem whereas kde works like a charm, ???? -> gnome
preferences daemon not starting ).

The only way to solve this is ... to reboot !
