--- Comment #2 from Wesley Moore <wes at wezm.net> ---
Further investigation shows that it appears to be some sort of race condition.
I edited /usr/local/libexec/gnome-settings-daemon-localeexec and changed the
exec line to use truss in order to try to trace where it was getting stuck:

truss -o /home/wmoore/Documents/gnome-settings-daemon-truss.out exec
/usr/local/libexec/gnome-settings-daemon

However after that change the hang stopped, even with --failsafe removed from
.xinitrc[1]. Suspecting the slight delay introduced by truss I then changed
gnome-settings-daemon-localeexec to include a one second sleep and that seems
to have the same effect:

Code:

sleep 1
exec /usr/local/libexec/gnome-settings-daemon

[1]: My .xinitrc looks like this:

exec gnome-session --debug > .xsession-errors 2>&1
