Here's a surefire way to reproduce this bug every time:

1.  Install Edgy.
2.  Install TightVNCServer
3.  Start a VNC server session and connect to your Edgy box from another machine using a VNC client.  (I've been using realVNC's client)

You'll see the error upon connecting with VNC.  The UI will also have
that weird generic Gnome'ish look.  (generic icons/widgets)

I've got 3 Edgy boxes - 2 at home and 1 at work - and they ALL have this
exact problem.  (they were fresh installs, not upgrades)   If I don't
connect to them via VNC, then everything is fine.  It's only when I use
them as headless workstations and connect via VNC that the issue arises.
I know that this might differ from how others are seeing the bug, but
for me this one has been as consistant as the sun rising.
