gnome-desktop1:2:21.92-ubuntu3 (installed via update) changed behavior a
bit but did not solve the problem gnome-settings-daemon crash.

installing gnome-settings-daemon_2.21.91-0ubuntu6_i386.deb from Bryce's
download site appartently has solved the gnome-settings-daemon problem
and my system appears to work normally.

tks to all
