vnc not giving GUI, just crosshatched screen

Sun Apr 13 00:34:07 UTC 2008

On rawhide updated 2008-04-13:
$ vncserver -kill :1
$ vncserver :1
looks normal at the term prompt but after connect/password, shows a grey 
crosshatched screen.

log: tried yum reinstall dbus:

Apr 13 09:22:03 dbus-1.2.1-1.fc9.i386: ts_done state is

dbus-1.2.1-1.fc9.i386 20 should be erase dbus

Haven't rebooted the machine yet. Note the segfault from 
gnome-settings-daemon {gnome-settings-daemon-2.22.1-0.2008.03.26.5.fc9.i386}

Any ideas on what is going wrong {machine was F8>F9Beta>updated daily} ?
Does this look like a local config {which was working fine until last 
night} problem, or does it need a bz entry ?
