[Bug 61381] Re: gnome-settings-daemon crashes at login

[Sergey V. Udaltsov]

In my case the problem was related to the ldap nss authentication. dbus-
daemon is running as messagebus user while libnss-ldap.conf is not
readable by anyone except root (600) - so dbus-daemon could not
authenticate. Changing permissions to 644 fixed the connection problem.
