I can confirm that this bug happens in Ubuntu 11.10 if a Western Digital My Book (1 Tb mirroring) is connected through USB.
Disconnecting the WD results in a gnome-settings-daemon that doesn't crash.

This bug can be temporarily fixed by executing the following script as
startup item in "Startup Applications" :

#!/bin/bash
xinput --set-prop "Western Digital My Book" "Device Enabled" 0
nohup gnome-settings-daemon & > /dev/null
killall nautilus
nohup nautilus -n & > /dev/null

This is the part in my /var/log/udev that shows that udev is seeing the USB HDD as a hid device.
I'm no udev expert, so I might be wrong about this.

Title:
  gnome-settings-daemon crashed with signal 5 in xkl_process_error()

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

Bug description:
  Here's a note I included in a similar bug (797947) that may help to
  diagnose as this might be a timing issue:

  I'd like to add that I can never get gnome-settings-daemon to start
  and stay running for more than 5 seconds, UNLESS i take the following
  actions, in which case it applies the themes properly and responds to
  theme changes and generally works just fine:

  1. start 'strace gnome-settings-daemon' in a window
  2. wait until the terminal appears to hang in the middle of the output
  3. switch to a virtual console (ALT+F1) and login
  4. pkill -9 strace
  5. switch back to X - everything is fine!

  This works about 95% of the time.

  This is a laptop that always gets this error on boot up and only has
  one screen, no docking station, so its not anything related to screen
  size I should think.
