[Robert Adams <805894@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I can confirm the exact same behavior witnessed by Mike in comment #5
and Erwin above. In my case I have been trying to troubleshoot the
extreme lack of theming in Oneiric - it never occurred to me to unplug
my external WD My Book, which has been "recognized" as a keyboard for as
long as I can remember but has never given me any difficulty.

Once unplugged, I can start gnome-settings-daemon fine, and windows are
themed.


(gnome-settings-daemon:4587): Gdk-WARNING **: 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 873 error_code 8 request_code 143 minor_code 22)
  (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.)

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.
