Package: gnome-settings-daemon Version: 2.22.2.1-2 Severity: normal When I open Iceweasel, gnome-settings-daemon crashes. This happens irrelevant of the VNC viewer (tried latest stable UltraVNC and TightVNC from a Windows XP box, via SSH tunnel). There is no crash when I other apps (eg. gnome-terminal, gedit).
When gnome-settings-daemon dies, I see an error dialog with the following text: "There was an error starting the GNOME Settings Daemon. Some things, sugh as themes, sounds, or background settings may not work correctly. The Settings Daemon restarted too many times. GNOME will try to restart the Settings Daemon next time you log in." Here is a snippet from ~/.xsession-errors: ** (gnome-settings-daemon:16836): WARNING **: Failed to open file '/etc/gnome/config/General.ad': No such file or directory The program 'gnome-settings-daemon' received an X Window System error. This probably reflects a bug in the program. The error was 'BadWindow (invalid Window parameter)'. (Details: serial 2476 error_code 3 request_code 20 minor_code 0) (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously; that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it. To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)
