I can confirm this behavior. I just upgraded my system from jaunty to karmic, and I found that gnome-settings-daemon would not start when running a free-nx session. However, g-s-d started properly when I started a normal gnome session (no free-nx). Then I disabled the xrandr plug-in, and g-s-d was able to start in a free-nx session.
-- The program 'gnome-settings-daemon' received an X Window System error. During on a FreeNX server suring a session. The crash does not happen when xrandr plugin is disabled. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/454487 You received this bug notification because you are a member of FreeNX Team, which is the registrant for FreeNX Server.

The program 'gnome-settings-daemon' received an X Window System error. This probably reflects a bug in the program. The error was 'BadRequest (invalid request code or no such operation)'. (Details: serial 105 error_code 1 request_code 150 minor_code 8) (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.) If I disable the xrandr plugin then the bug is not present (once bug 409621 is fixed). This is a regression from Jaunty where the xrandr plugin worked. I attach the the stack trace. If there is anything else I can do please let me know.
