gnome-settings-daemon (3.4.1-0ubuntu1.1) precise-proposed; urgency=low
* debian/patches/power-check-null-devices.patch:
- NULL-guard the return value of up_client_get_devices.
LP: #868928
*
The fix is working well. No more crashes and back to a normal desktop.
The workaround for configuring displays (sticky edges and launcher
placement) was to turn off xinerama and make the changes.

Fix seems to be working for me (so-far). Note that the new version is
3.4.1-0ubuntu1.1, not 3.4.1-0ubuntu2 as suggested above - spent a few
mins scratching my head over that one, before I found the changelog.
I'm going to miss the retro 1990's Motif look :)
Thanks!

Thanks Michael, I tested the patch and at least I'm not getting crashes
anymore, however the only thing I noticed a bit 'off', and I'm not sure
if this is my settings, or something else, but when I use nVidia
Twinview, the HUD in Unity is transparent, when using Xinerama, it's a
black background.
Matt, thanks for testing! I doubt that HUD issue is related to this
specific bug. I'd suggest filing a new bug. But glad that the crash is
fixed!

I don't see 3.4.1-0ubuntu2 in precise-proposed, but I did a build from
the source package for quantal and can also confirm that with Michael's
fix, the problem no longer reproduces. Nice!

@Nathaniel: you are sure you are getting the same issue? Does it happen
at every login for you? Could you add your .xsession-errors to the bug?
The bug there is one in the power manager code, it's weird that the
screen configuration impacts on it...

This bug and bug 868928 look very similar. The device array has been
free'd and null'd, but the code continues. Looking into why.

NM, this is different from bug 868928. I think I see how this could
happen. Basically, the power manager sets itself up on dbus, but only
can properly receive property-get requests for part of the time (while
the manager is start()'ed but not stop()'d).

FWIW, I'm also seeing this, using GNOME classic with Precise updated on

difference...

could you look at it as well when you have some time?

Setting back to Confirmed, as this still reproduces with the latest
gnome-settings-daemon (3.4.1-0ubuntu1), which I think is what Sebastien
meant.
For what it's worth, I tried creating a fresh user account to see if the
problem was related to some odd user configuration settings; however,

be higher). So if anyone is working on this but having trouble
