I sometimes see the same thing. Today it happened while playing a long running game of freeciv and the errors in .xsession-errors prior to the one where gnome-settings daemon crashed looked like:
(freeciv-gtk2:22823): Gdk-WARNING **: XID collision, trouble ahead When gnome-settings-daemon crashes, it is very disconcerting as the entire desktop resets to some global system default theme and repaints itself. The sudden change is very jarring, and without any explanation until you examine .xsession-errors. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/751163 Title: gnome-settings-daemon crashes during use To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-settings-daemon/+bug/751163/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
