This issue is reproducible with Intel DX58SO motherboard. It occurs when when open sites which contains Rich AJAX or flash player. eg Yahoo Chess. This problem is prominent on Ubuntu Versions greater than 10.04. I reported this bug Bug 986773 with apport but they also regarded it as "Incomplete". You can also check 971353. I only mentioned one reproducible path but I am sure there are many and with my experience I have faced it multiple times. Also in my case, it is worst , the whole system restarts with the crash.
If this bug is not fixed, then I cannot upgrade from 10.04 or else I will switch to another Linux OS. -- 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/438618 Title: gnome-settings-daemon crashed Status in “gnome-settings-daemon” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Binary package hint: gnome-settings-daemon The daemon crashed when I opened a link to a HQ youtube movie. .xsession-errors: ** (gnome-settings-daemon:17848): WARNING **: Failed to acquire org.gnome.SettingsDaemon ** (gnome-settings-daemon:17848): WARNING **: Could not acquire name The program 'gnome-settings-daemon' received an X Window System error. This probably reflects a bug in the program. The error was 'BadDrawable (invalid Pixmap or Window parameter)'.

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.) If more logs are needed, i'll add them.
