I'm getting this or similiar error on Mint Nadia. On every login gtk theme "crashes" and .xsession-error contains:
(gnome-settings-daemon:1878): Gdk-ERROR **: The program 'gnome-settings-daemon' received an X Window System error. This probably reflects a bug in the program. The error was 'BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)'. (Details: serial 770 error_code 8 request_code 131 minor_code 22) (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 GDK_SYNCHRONIZE environment variable to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.) gnome-session[1779]: WARNING: Application 'gnome-settings-daemon.desktop' killed by signal 5 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-desktop in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/447431 Title: gnome-settings-daemon dies with BadMatch Status in “gnome-desktop” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in “gnome-desktop” source package in Lucid: Triaged Status in “gnome-desktop” source package in Karmic: Triaged Bug description: Binary package hint: gnome-settings-daemon g-s-d frequently dies for me when I'm flipping through display output settings.

This is the first time I happened to have launched it from console (restarting it after a previous crash) and caught this error message. I'll try to debug it using --sync.
