Bug#535534: gnome-settings-daemon Can Die When Running Pan

Package: gnome-settings-daemon
Version: 2.30.2-2
Followup-For: Bug #535534

	I have also observed gnome-settings-daemon to keel over with a
BadMatch error:

----
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)'.
  (Details: serial 33347 error_code 8 request_code 15 minor_code 0)
  (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.)
----

	In my case, I can most reliably make it appear by running the 'pan'
newsreader.  About one time in three, gnome-settings-daemon will die as soon
as 'pan's main window appears.

	I have 'pan' package version 0.133-1.1 installed.  My window manager
is awesome 3.4.9-1.1.
