Package: gnome-desktop
Version: 2.28.0-1

Hi,

when using Gnome on FreeNX I receive the following error:

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 101 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.)

The patch from [1] fixes this problem.  Sadly it still needs a fix to
libxklavier to start up, but I'll submit that one shortly.

It would be cool if you could apply it in the next upload of gnome-desktop.
Credits go to Chris Coulson <chrisccoulson at ubuntu.com>.

Thanks in advance,
Philipp Kern
