Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gnome-settings-daemon
>From time to time, at the launch of the first windowed application in a
session, the skin abruptly changes to something similar, but not
identical, to "Glossy". After that, gnome-settings-daemon is no longer
running.
I haven’t been able to get a backtrace yet, because gnome-settings-
daemon is like Schrödinger’s cat: very reluctant towards being debugged.
What would I best break at? gdk_x_error?
What I am doing now is this:
After startup, I go to the console, Shift+F1. Then I execute this script:
#! /bin/bash
sleep 10
beep
gdb gnome-settings-daemon `ps -A | grep gnome-se | grep -oE "[0-9]*" | head -1`
Then I quickly go back to my graphical screen (because it somehow won’t
come back after gdb has started) and after the beep launch some windowed
application. Back to console again, where I type:
break gdk_x_error
continue
Then I hope that gnome-settings-daemon exits, which it until now has
done only once, but then I had no breakpoint set, so I only saw that it
exited with code 01.
Am I doing this correctly?
