I am having the same problem on my Lenovo T400 / ATI binary driver
1) The release of Ubuntu you are using, via 'lsb_release -rd' or System
-> About Ubuntu.
Description: Ubuntu 8.10
Release: 8.10
2) The version of the package you are using, via 'apt-cache policy
packagename' or by checking in Synaptic.
gnome-settings-daemon:
Installed: 2.24.0-0ubuntu3.3
Candidate: 2.24.0-0ubuntu3.3
Version table:
*** 2.24.0-0ubuntu3.3 0
500 http://ftp.ticklers.org intrepid-updates/main Packages
100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
2.24.0-0ubuntu3 0

3) What you expected to happen
When I change the screen resolution using the gnome screen resolution
app, I expect the gnome-settings-daemon to keep running
4) What happened instead
gnome-settings-daemon crashes and the gnome theme is set to a default.
Running gnome-settings-daemon again fixes the problem. Here is the error
from gnome-settings-daemon:
gnome-settings-daemon --no-daemon

error MATCHESThe 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 2468 error_code 8 request_code 157 minor_code 7)
(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.)
always happens when I am giving a lecture and I've just plugged into the
projector, since that is when I change resolution. This is a bad advert
for Ubuntu! Let's get this one fixed...
