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.)
