--- Begin Message ---Package: gnome-settings-daemon Version: 2.28.1-1 Severity: important I can reproduce the following behaviour: Turn of computer, turn it on and log into a gnome session with gdm. The gnome-settings-daemon is started a short time (I see the right fonts) and then it dies and the fonts change back to default ones. After that I can start g-s-d manually and all is back to normal. On logout and login (and waiting between making sure all of the gnome session is stopped) the same does *not* happen. The failure .xsession-errors contains: 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 1334 error_code 8 request_code 20 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.)
