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

[David Karger]

Running the 6.10 release as a live CD I encountered exactly the same
problem/error message as is described in the initial posting to this
thread.  I

* switched to a tty with ctl-alt-f1, 
* ran sudo vi /etc/hosts, 
* commented out the ::1 line in the ipv6 section, 
* ran sudo gnome-session-manager (got "Gtk-Warning ** cannot open display:") 
* switched back to the graphical terminal with alt-f7 and 
* restarted X with ctl-alt-backspace.  

This time the session came up without the gnome-session-manager error
message.  However, it is still running incredibly slowly (10 minutes and
it still hasn't finished putting together the desktop).  I'm not
connected to a network; wonder if that could be having an effect.
