It seems as if the problem with not being able to start up my networking
was caused by Bug #855171 ; however I would suspect that the rest of the
bug with the continuous restart, and not being able to access the other
settings from the system settings of the Control Center is a different
bug then Bug #855171 and was only exposed by that bug.

Title:
  gnome-settings-daemon crashed with SIGABRT in_kernal_vsyscall()

Status in “gnome-settings-daemon” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  After the most recent update, the networking failed to load on boot.
  On selecting Network from System Settings nothing happenened except
  the Network icon highlighting briefly.  Selecting Displays,
  Appearence, and other selections in the System Settings; resulted in
  the panel for those selections to briefly open and then go completly
  blank, only showing a grey solid panel.  When I closed the System
  Setting window.  I closed briefly, but relauched seconds later.  This
  behaviour repeated contiously until the gnome-settings-daemon crashed.
  Checking on the running processes shows several instances of the
  gnome-control-center before the crash.  With other windows open; the
  System settings panel continues to steal focus from other windows.

  1.  Using: Ubuntu Oneric (development branch) release:11.10

  2. Package Version Information:

     gnome-settings-daemon 3.1.92-0ubuntu1 oneiric/main i386 Packages
     
     gnome-control-center 1:3.1.92-0ubuntu1
    
    unity 4.16.0-0ubuntu2

    nautilus 1:3.1.92-0ubuntu2

    Linux 3.0.0-11-generic i686
   
   
   
  ProcVersionSigniture : Ubuntu 3.0.0-11.18-generic 3.0.4

  *Please Note: Since I am unable to connect my netbook to the network;
  I am hand filing this bug report from my Nook Color.  Therfore; I am
  unable to attach any files, but am attempting to include as much info
  as I can by hand typing what I can from the error report, so I ask for
  your understanding.

  First few XsessionErrors:
  (gnome-settings-daemon:1613): GLib-CRITICAL **:g_variant_new_string: assertion 'string != NULL' failed
  (gnome-settings-daemon:1613): GnomeDestop-CRITICAL **: gnome_rr_crtc_get_gamma: assertion 'crtc != NULL' failed
  ...
  ...

  3.  Expected behaviour:  Ubuntu would start normaly with the
  networking enabled and acessable.  Attempting to modify Network
  Setting as well as any other System Setting through the Control Center
  System Settings Pannel would result in successfuly accesings the
  appropriate sttings and making any changes successfully.

  4.  Actual behavior: All network access failed to start on boot and
  login into Ubuntu Unity.  Attempting to access and modify Network
  Settings in the Control Center failed to open the Network settings
  panel.  Further attempts to open other settings pannels for other
  system settings resulted in blank panels opening.  Closing the System
  Settings Window resulted in the Window continously reopening until a
  crash occured.

  
  My biggest issue at the moment is restoring my network access on my netbook.  I am still able to access the same wireless network with several other devices, and was able to succefully acess the wireless network with my netbook until the latest update.

  My Netbook is a Toshiba NB 305
