Setting back to Confirmed, as this still reproduces with the latest gnome-settings-daemon (3.4.1-0ubuntu1), which I think is what Sebastien meant.
For what it's worth, I tried creating a fresh user account to see if the problem was related to some odd user configuration settings; however, the problem still reproduces for a freshly created user. ** Changed in: gnome-settings-daemon (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => Confirmed -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, 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() Status in “gnome-settings-daemon” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: on login ProblemType: Crash DistroRelease: Ubuntu 12.04 Package: gnome-settings-daemon 3.4.0-0ubuntu2 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.2.0-21.34-generic 3.2.13 Uname: Linux 3.2.0-21-generic x86_64 NonfreeKernelModules: nvidia ApportVersion: 2.0-0ubuntu1 Architecture: amd64 Date: Fri Mar 30 19:38:25 2012 ExecutablePath: /usr/lib/gnome-settings-daemon/gnome-settings-daemon InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 12.04 LTS "Precise Pangolin" - Beta amd64 (20120301) ProcCmdline: /usr/lib/gnome-settings-daemon/gnome-settings-daemon ProcEnviron: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8 LANGUAGE=en_GB:en SHELL=/bin/false PATH=(custom, no user) SegvReason: reading NULL VMA Signal: 11 SourcePackage: gnome-settings-daemon Title: [power]: gnome-settings-daemon crashed with SIGSEGV in g_main_context_dispatch() UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) UserGroups: To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-settings-daemon/+bug/969535/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
