Package: gnome-settings-daemon
Version: 2.28.1-3
Severity: important
...with 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 'BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)'.
(Details: serial 456231 error_code 8 request_code 152 minor_code 7)
(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.)
Unfortunately this does not happen *always* and thus is hard to reproduce.
However afterwards gnome programs run in some default settings and starting
gnome-settings-daemon again takes down the whole X session such that only
logout/login can help.
