[Bug 885832] [NEW] gnome-settings-daemon crashes when I close and re-open my laptop

 

Public bug reported:

When I close my laptop lid and re-open, gnome-settings-daemon segfaults.
I saw similar bugs filed, but on much older versions of this software,
so sorry if this is a dupe.  When this service crashes I get an odd icon
set and my terminals go from a black background to a grey one.

I don't have another system to ssh into this one with so I cannot tell
whether the crash occurs when I close the lid or when I re-open it.  I
have a fresh install of 11.10 with the most recent updates applied.

This is what my syslog looks like:

I have the proposed version installed but it did not solve this issue:

gnome-settings-daemon:
  Installed: 3.2.1-0ubuntu3
  Candidate: 3.2.1-0ubuntu3
  Version table:
 *** 3.2.1-0ubuntu3 0

     3.2.0-0ubuntu5 0
        500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ oneiric/main amd64 Packages

I can work-around this by restarting gnome-settings-daemon manually.
