Bug Description

Binary package hint: gnome-control-center

Using 1:2.25.3-0ubuntu1

I tried to use the display app to enable TV out (unsuccessfully). After that the display created a file named
~/.config/monitors.xml
the configuration is set to clone mode because I needed it (I hope it will get fixed)

gnome-settings-daemon crashes when trying to parse the file:

** (gnome-settings-daemon:8238): DEBUG: GnomeSettingsModule 0x9198e78 initialising

desired is = /home/yelo3/.config/monitors.xml.desired
reading configuration...
done
error MATCHESSegmentation fault (core dumped)

after removing the file gnome-settings-daemon works again
