got past samba-libsmbclient build error

[knowtree at aloha.com]

Eariler today I reported the samba-libsmbclient port failing due to a
problem with the configure script detecting fcntl locking. I got around it
by install the gnomevfs2 package. That installed more stuff. I returned to
the build of gnomesession, and it completed. I still can't find gdm, but
gnome-session is there.

Alas, I set up .xinitrc to exec gnome-session, and all I get is the spalsh
screen and an error:

    There was an error starting the GNOME Settings Daemon.

    Some things, such as themes, sounds, or background settings 
    may no work correctly.

    The Settings Daemon restarted too many times.

    The last error message was:

    Failed to activate 'OAFIID:GNOME_SettingsDaemon'

    GNOME will still try to restart the Settings Daemon next time 
    you log in.

Back at the command line I see where Gnome was trying to use a theme called
Gorilla. I don't have that, but I do have AgingGorilla.

Time to go pick up my wife and do some Christmas shopping.

Merry Christmas: <http://www.aloha.com/~knowtree/xmas2005/xmas2005.jpg>
