It says:

There was an error starting the GNOME Settings Daemon.

Some things, such as themes, sounds, or background settings may not work
correctly.

The last error message was:

Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did
not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the
reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken.

GNOME will still try to restart the Settings Daemon next time you log in.

I apt-get update/upgraded four squeeze boxes on last week and now all of
them report this error whenever someone logs in. The user can cancel the
error and keep going. Except with my machine, I had to remove .gconf/apps to
get access to my user account in gnome.
