Is D-Bus running? That reads like Gnome stuff is trying to use D-Bus
but for whatever reason it cannot.



---------------------------------

D-Bus seems to be running:

$ ps ax|grep dbus
 6856  ??  Is     0:00.01 dbus-daemon --fork --print-address 23 --print-pid 25 
 6861  ??  I      0:00.00 dbus-launch --autolaunch 556807661c6a8b1e2e0306004623
 6862  ??  Is     0:00.00 /usr/local/bin/dbus-daemon --fork --print-pid 6 --pri 

And also top output:

As u can see gnome-settings-daemon is eating a lot CPU time

thanks Trigve
