I thought I had mentioned it in this bug, but I guess I hadn't --- I also have a triple-head Xinerama config (on an Nvidia Quadro NVS 450).
Also, since it may not be clear to those who are not experiencing this bug, when gnome-settings-daemon crashes at startup, it means that most apps (Thunderbird, Firefox, Chrome, etc.) are totally unthemed, and many desktop-wide settings (such as font size adjustments, etc.) are not applied at all. In other words, the desktop looks like crap and is hard to use. If this isn't fixed for the Precise release, it might be a good idea to have a prominent item in the release notes discouraging folks with nontrivial multi-head setups from upgrading... -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-settings-daemon in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/969535 Title: [power]: gnome-settings-daemon crashed with SIGSEGV in engine_get_icon_priv() To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-settings-daemon/+bug/969535/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
