GNOME freezes (GNOME Settings Deamon Error!)

[Andre Nell]

Hi

Environment: Redhat Enterprise Linux ES - Version 3
Kernel: 2.4.20-21.ELsmp

I get these error messages after I type in the username and password to 
start GNOME. The screen freezes and GNOME does not load!

"There was an error starting the GNOME Settings Daemon. Somethings like 
themes, sounds, and background settings may not work properly. Settings 
Daemon restarted too many times. GNOME will restart the Settings Daemon next 
time you log in".

"Nautilus can't be used now due to an unexpected error".

"Problem registering the panel with the bonobo-activation server".

I've read on redhat's website that deleting the
gconf-(username)
orbit-(username)
directories in the /tmp folder would solve the problem.

The following gnome packages are installed on my machine
gnome-user-docs-2.0.1-3
gnome-mime-data-2.4.0-2
gnome-system-monitor-2.4.0-1
gnome-media-2.4.0-2
