I made a quick and dirty hack to work around this issue as described in the upstream bug report. Not really a workable solution for anyone that doesn't use NX though.

(gnome-settings-daemon:20586): Gdk-WARNING **: The program 'gnome-settings-daemon' received an X Window System error. This probably reflects a bug in the program. The error was 'XSyncBadCounter'. (Details: serial 195 error_code 146 request_code 137 minor_code 5) (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.) Could you open another bug for it?
