upgraded to gnome 2.26.1 this AM - all icons missing

[Andreas Wetzel]

I have had the same thing on one machine I upgraded from 2.24 this morning.
Log in via gdm was slow, and then no icons...
A quick investigation revealed that gnome-settings-daemon was somehow hung.
When trying to start it manually with --debug --no-daemon, i got a message
like this right after trying to initialize the 'media-keys' plugin:

socket(): Protocol not supported

and then it hung. I was able to get around this by manually disabling the
media-keys plugin via gconf-editor. It would be nice, if the program were
telling *which* protocol is not supported.

On another machine, which I just upgraded, i am too seeing such 'Protocol not 
supported' messages, when starting gnome-settings-daemon' manually, although 
it does not hang. Is the red coloring of these messages supposed to mean that 
these should normally not happen? :-)
