Sorry everyone - my suggestion to add "+extension XInputExtension" was WRONG. It doesn't solve the issue at all. I was fooled into thinking it did because subsequent connections 'seemed' to show the correct theme indefinitely, but after a while gnome-settings-daemon failed again.
Sorry for causing unnecessary confusion! And FYI - disabling the keyboard plugin via gconf-editor *does* appear to stop gnome-settings-daemon crashing. This is a workaround only, though. From looking at other forums/bug reports on this topic, it seems like a bug or design oversight in gnome-settings-daemon needs to be identified and resolved. -- Error starting gnome-settings-daemon while logged in via vnc https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/239342 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-settings-daemon in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
