Random gnome-settings-daemon error

One random time (on the 5th of February), X crashed on me. Nothing special. But then the error message that came up after I logged back in was. The errror was something like:

** (gnome-settings-daemon:5559): WARNING **: Unable to connect to dbus: Failed
to connect to socket /tmp/dbus-zlCjJ68lrb: Connection refused

(gnome-settings-daemon:5559): GnomeKbdIndicator-WARNING **: Unable to

xrdb:  “*Text.foreground” on line 238 overrides entry on line 19

With the nice side-effect of GNOME looking like gray crap, instead my nice looking Ubuntu theme. Looking around found me this bug report (http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg139625.html), which had the solution:

sudo apt-get install dbus-x11

For some reason the dependencies may have been messed up? (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/dbus/+bug/120089). or may not….
