After not having seen this bug for a while, it finally appeared again and I got the backtrace (see attachment). I had the breakpoints set on exit and _exit as suggested by David. I hope this helps and someone can take a look at this soon. BTW the .xsession-errors showed the following error:
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 1355 error_code 8 request_code 3 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.)
