Public bug reported: On login, gnome-settings-daemon fails to start, with the message "restarted too many times". Trying to run from the terminal turns it, and only it, high-contrast (I assume I accidentally set that theme at some point) until I end it manually, or it segfaults. Due to this, I assume, the volume + and - keys have stopped working and the theme is incorrect.
Running gnome-settings-daemon through gdb gets the following: xrdb: "*Label.background" on line 243 overrides entry on line 170 xrdb: "*Text.background" on line 249 overrides entry on line 211 xrdb: "*Label.foreground" on line 255 overrides entry on line 171 xrdb: "*Text.foreground" on line 261 overrides entry on line 212 Txrdb: "*Label.background" on line 243 overrides entry on line 170 xrdb: "*Text.background" on line 249 overrides entry on line 211 xrdb: "*Label.foreground" on line 255 overrides entry on line 171 xrdb: "*Text.foreground" on line 261 overrides entry on line 212 S(no debugging symbols found) [1160840057,000,xklavier.c:xkl_engine_start_listen/] The backend does not require manual layout management - but it is provided by the application Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
