As stated in a previous message, I installed gnome 2.12.1 from scratch (as
in Linux From Scratch) and am having problems with gnome-control-center
and gnome-theme-manager not working. I have done some more investigating
and it seems part of the problem is with gnome-settings-daemon not
starting. As can be seen there is a null string being passed to the
function in glib g_utf8_validate, which appears to be from a empty value
in BG_PREFERENCES_PICTURE_FILENAME. I'm wondering if this is a bug?
