I have this problem too (bug 696455 now it's a duplicate of this bug)
but I often meet this one not only at session start, but even randomly
sometimes. It's quite frequent issue for me, if I kill indicator applet
by the way (just I noticed it can trigger this problem more frequently,
I got this otherwise too!). Starting gnome-appearance-properties "fixes"
the problem, because it restarts gnome-settings-daemon (afaik). In
.xession-errors

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 1365 error_code 8 request_code 3 minor_code 0)
  (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.)

In kernel log:

[1206298.610775] gnome-settings-[2102]: segfault at 535f4d57 ip 00bc5f4b
sp bfbd90a0 error 4 in libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0.2200.0[ad1000+3c8000]

I have this problem in three different machines, one of them is fresh
install, the others are upgraded since several ubuntu releases.
