gnome settins daemon problem with vnc server

Hello,

I am trying to connect to a remote machine, running Ubuntu
Edgy, via 
vnc. The server running over there is tightvncserver and I
am using 
xtightvncviewer to open a session.

I have there in ~/.vnc/xstartup:
$> cat .vnc/xstartup
#!/bin/sh
gnome-session &
metacity --replace &
nautilus -n &
#gnome-panel &
#gnome-settings-daemon &



However, the problem is that when I try to connect to the
vnc server 
using the command:
$> xtightvncviewer gsq.dyndns.org:1

I get an error message window saying something like:
There was an error starting GNOME Settings Daemon
Some things, such as themes, sounds, or background settings
may not work 
correctly.
The last error message was:
Unbale to determine the address of the message bus (try 'man
dbus-lauch' 
and 'man dbus-daemon' for help)
GNOME will still try to restart the Settings Daemon next
time you log in.


Anybody knows what this means and how to get around?

I am trying this because I want to use different keyboard
maps(to use 
unicode fonts) on the vnc server machine. The keyboard
applet I get in 
the gnome panel also doesn't let me change its settins and
reports that 
gnome-settings-daemon is not running.

If there is any other way to get different keyboard mappings
(languages) 
on vnc viewer, I am willing to try.

thanks,
->HS
