After a recent system update gnome-settings-daemon crashes with segmentation fault upon login to gnome shell (installed from ppa:gnome3-team/gnome3, gnome-settings-daemon 3.0.1-0ubuntu1~build4). The #68 comment hack makes it even worse: the session hangs (nevertheless, it did the trick under with vanilla ubuntu-10.10: I was affected until upgraded to Natty + Gnome3, have SSD, Core i7). Before the update everything worked just fine (gnome-settings-daemon 3.0.1-0ubuntu1~build3.1).
