Bug#481191: gnome-settings-daemon under vnc segfaults

[John Gruenenfelder]

Package: gnome-settings-daemon
Version: 2.22.2.1-1
Followup-For: Bug #481191

This bug still exists in the current gnome-settings-daemon package in
Debian/testing on an x86_64 system.  It occurs with both vnc4server and
tightvncserver.  In addition to not starting for the reason in the previous
message, it also segfaults on my system.  From dmesg output:

[192800.411880] gnome-settings-[19205]: segfault at 10 ip 7fe9ab245a1d sp 7fffb4c214a0 error 4 in libmouse.so[7fe9ab240000+a000]
[192802.415670] gnome-settings-[19216]: segfault at 10 ip 7fd87a780a1d sp 7fff8415b9b0 error 4 in libmouse.so[7fd87a77b000+a000]
[192802.683229] gnome-settings-[19229]: segfault at 10 ip 7f84816b2a1d sp 7fff8b08ffa0 error 4 in libmouse.so[7f84816ad000+a000]
[192803.100619] gnome-settings-[19242]: segfault at 10 ip 7f830adb9a1d sp 7fff14794fe0 error 4 in libmouse.so[7f830adb4000+a000]

It seems to try five times whenever the VNC server is started before giving
up.  Without gnome-settings-daemon, most of Gnome still works, but various
bits will fail for odd reasons when it is not running.
