gnome-settings-daemon hits abort error in grab_key_real()

[Jan]

This is on an Asus EeePC. As far as I know the problem has existed since the upgrade to 12.04. Backtrace:

Thank you for your bug report, what xserver do you use? is that a normal local session or a vnc,remote one?

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

could you also get a stacktrace with the libxi and libx11 dbg packages installed?

[Jan (jankanis)]

It's a normal, local X session that comes up after bootup, using the
standard X server that comes with ubuntu 12.04.

The system is using an xorg.conf file to make it use the fbdev driver,
since it has a Poulsbo video chip for which only a 2d driver is available.
But the xorg.conf doesn't contain anything else interesting (I don't have
access to the system right now, so I can't attach it).

[Expired for gnome-settings-daemon (Ubuntu) because there has been no activity for 60 days.]

[Jan (jankanis)]

Holidays have ended, so I can get at the system again.

By the way, should I also do an apport-collect to this bugreport?

gdb output/stacktrace with extra debugging syms installed:
