Following an upgrade to the latest testing release on 23/6/2004. gnome-settings -daemon fails on login to gdm. Also, applets fail to load, as does evolution, gedit, giving the following error:
Details: Unknown CORBA exception id: 'IDL:omg.org/CORBA/INV_OBJREF:1.0'
This has happened on two different machines.
