Yes. I use a minimal LXDE environment. And sorry for not making that clear. |

Stupid me. |

Yes. I have gconf (as a dependency of evince), and I see that when |
15 |
evince is started, a process named gconfd-2 runs. I thought this was |
16 |
the settings daemon evince needs. I didn't know there was a |
17 |
gnome-settings-daemon package. |

But do you know what this error causes? If it is a harmless warning |
21 |
message, I think it is better to ignore it than install |
22 |
gnome-settings-daemon, which pulls 24 other packages. |
