I thought I had mentioned it in this bug, but I guess I hadn't --- I also have a triple-head Xinerama config (on an Nvidia Quadro NVS 450).
Also, since it may not be clear to those who are not experiencing this bug, when gnome-settings-daemon crashes at startup, it means that most apps (Thunderbird, Firefox, Chrome, etc.) are totally unthemed, and many desktop-wide settings (such as font size adjustments, etc.) are not applied at all. In other words, the desktop looks like crap and is hard to use. If this isn't fixed for the Precise release, it might be a good idea to have a prominent item in the release notes discouraging folks with nontrivial multi-head setups from upgrading... -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-settings-daemon in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/969535 Title: [power]: gnome-settings-daemon crashed with SIGSEGV in engine_get_icon_priv() Status in “gnome-settings-daemon” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in “gnome-settings-daemon” source package in Precise: Confirmed Bug description: on login ProblemType: Crash DistroRelease: Ubuntu 12.04 Package: gnome-settings-daemon 3.4.0-0ubuntu2 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.2.0-21.34-generic 3.2.13 Uname: Linux 3.2.0-21-generic x86_64 NonfreeKernelModules: nvidia ApportVersion: 2.0-0ubuntu1 Architecture: amd64 Date: Fri Mar 30 19:38:25 2012 ExecutablePath: /usr/lib/gnome-settings-daemon/gnome-settings-daemon InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 12.04 LTS "Precise Pangolin" - Beta amd64 (20120301) ProcCmdline: /usr/lib/gnome-settings-daemon/gnome-settings-daemon ProcEnviron: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8 LANGUAGE=en_GB:en SHELL=/bin/false PATH=(custom, no user) SegvReason: reading NULL VMA Signal: 11 SourcePackage: gnome-settings-daemon Title: [power]: gnome-settings-daemon crashed with SIGSEGV in g_main_context_dispatch() UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) UserGroups: To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-settings-daemon/+bug/969535/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
