But a quick round of googling reveals that.... It's not much of a problem. Since /tmp is shared, software owned by various users often has private subdirectories under it (which other uids cannot access), and gnome-settings-daemon is just being unnecessarily verbose about that. If you check for running processes on your system you'd find that there are 2 copies gnome-settings-daemon running. One under your username the other under the user name gdm. Neither of these can access the directories in question. So, it is like it says gnome-settings-daemon just being verbose. Summary, not a problem. Nothing to worry about. Nothing to fix. -- Fedora Users List - The place to go to speculate endlessly
