Title:
  gnome-settings-daemon crashed with SIGFPE in g_main_context_dispatch()

Status in “gnome-settings-daemon” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Reproduction:  start Oneiric from live CD; open System Settings from
  top right system menu; start "Screen".

  Screen settings show up, then after a few seconds the widgets of the
  window and the top panel change for a moment, then the crash report
  window pops up. The settings window stays running in the process.

  I noted that the system can reach a state, where the above behavior
  changes, though I do not yet know what steps one should take to reach
  the changed state. Maybe if I start with some other part of System
  settings instead of Screen?

  UPDATE: OK, after some more testing it seems that:

  - at the 1st trial right after boot: the widgets of the window and the
  top panel change, then change back, gnome-settings-daemon crashes,
  then the settings window remains in place.

  - at the 2nd, 3rd or later trials to reproduce, the widgets & top
  panel _may_ remain in their changed state and the crash may not occur.
  After the first occurence of this behavior, it becomes standard, so I
  have to reboot to reproduce the crash again.
