--- Comment #18 from Ting-Wei Lan <lantw44 at gmail.com> ---
When it prints 'WARNING **: Name taken or bus went away - shutting down' and
exits, is the name 'org.gnome.SettingsDaemon' already owned by other processes
on your D-Bus session bus?

You can use d-feet to check it. Switch to the 'Session Bus' tab and search for
'org.gnome.SettingsDaemon'. It can show pid and cmd of the process.
Unfortunately, it seems the version provided by FreeBSD ports is broken, and
you may have to build it manually from upstream source:
https://git.gnome.org/browse/d-feet.

If you don't want to use d-feet, you can use command 'gdbus call --session
--dest=org.freedesktop.DBus --object-path=/org/freedesktop/DBus
--method=org.freedesktop.DBus.ListNames' to get the list of name on the session
bus. If you find the name 'org.gnome.SettingsDaemon' exists in the list without
running gnome-settings-daemon, you can use command 'gdbus call --session
--dest=org.freedesktop.DBus --object-path=/org/freedesktop/DBus
--method=org.freedesktop.DBus.GetConnectionUnixProcessID
org.gnome.SettingsDaemon' to get its pid and find the name of the process.
