There is no other mention of org.gnome.SettingsDaemon.Color.desktop before in syslog and kern.log, which is odd.

However, I found the following lines earlier in syslog regarding gnome-settings-daemon:
Nov 10 09:17:12 samsung-ubuntu gnome-session[6947]: gnome-session-binary[6947]: WARNING: Could not parse desktop file gnome-settings-daemon.desktop or it references a not found TryExec binary
Nov 10 09:17:12 samsung-ubuntu gnome-session-binary[6947]: WARNING: Could not parse desktop file gnome-settings-daemon.desktop or it references a not found TryExec binary

I'll try to reinstall gnome-settings-daemon.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. Unfortunately, we cannot work on this bug because your description didn't include enough information. You may find it helpful to read "How to report bugs effectively" http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/bugs.html. We'd be grateful if you would then provide a more complete description of the problem.

We have instructions on debugging some types of problems at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingProcedures.

At a minimum, we need:
1. The specific steps or actions you took that caused you to encounter the problem.
2. The behavior you expected.
3. The behavior you actually encountered (in as much detail as possible).
Thanks!
