[Bug 454487] Re: The program 'gnome-settings-daemon' received an X Window System error. During on a FreeNX server suring a session. The crash does not happen when xrandr plugin is disabled.

 

Indeed, that is the most likely culprit here. This didn't crash in
Jaunty because it wrapped the unsupported call with gdk_error_trap_push
and gdk_error_trap_pop to catch the error. That doesn't happen anymore
in the new version (and it uses a different, but still unsupported call)

Bug description:
I just installed karmic on my  freenx server machine when g-s-d starts it throws the following error:
gnome-settings-daemon Xlib:  extension "Generic Event Extension" missing on display ":1000.0".
Xlib:  extension "Generic Event Extension" missing on display ":1000.0".
Xlib:  extension "Generic Event Extension" missing on display ":1000.0".
Xlib:  extension "Generic Event Extension" missing on display ":1000.0".
Xlib:  extension "Generic Event Extension" missing on display ":1000.0".
The program 'gnome-settings-daemon' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadRequest (invalid request code or no such operation)'.
  (Details: serial 105 error_code 1 request_code 150 minor_code 8)
  (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.)

If I disable the xrandr plugin then the bug is not present (once bug 409621 is fixed).
This is a regression from Jaunty where the xrandr plugin worked.
I attach the the stack trace. If there is anything else I can do please let me know.
