gnome-settings-daemon / gnome-font-properties under FC-2

[Jonathan Ryshpan]

I run KDE and invoke gnome-settings-daemon at startup to set up the
fonts for programs, in particular Mozilla and Evolution, that take their
font control from the Gnome font control system.  The first time either
of these programs is invoked, it produces an error box with the message
shown below.  Apart from the message the programs seem to run OK; the
gnome settings daemon starts, and both Mozilla and Evolution display the
desired fonts. Succeeding invocations of gnome-font-properties don't
produce an error.

Does anyone know what this message is about or what to do about it?

Here is the error message:

    Error activating XKB configuration.
    Probably internal X server problem.

    X server version data:
    The X.Org Foundation
    60700000

    If you report this situation as a bug, please include:
    - The result of xprop -root | grep XKB
    - The result of gconftool-2 -R /desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard/xkb

Here are the two results requested in the error message:

$ xprop -root | grep XKB
_XKB_RULES_NAMES_BACKUP(STRING) = "xfree86", "pc105", "us", "", ""
_XKB_RULES_NAMES(STRING) = "xfree86", "pc105", "us", "", ""

$ gconftool-2 -R /desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard/xkb
 layouts = [us]
 model = pc105
 overrideSettings = false
 options = []


Here is a ps of the gnome-settings-daemon:
