Public bug reported:
I recently switched to the vesa driver instead of the intel driver and I
noticed that gnome-settings-daemon was not starting anymore. Further
investigation showed that it was segfaulting in the xrandr plugin. Removing
~/.config/monitors.xml fixes this. I already reported this bug in gnome
bugzilla and it was suggested that this might be a problem with this patch:
