Comment 6 for bug 138277

The gnome-settings-daemon is not starting when I login. I did not see this bug till I upgraded gnome-control-center on 17-Sept-2007.

Output of running gnome-settings-daemon from command line.
The program 'gnome-settings-daemon' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation)'.
  (Details: serial 973 error_code 2 request_code 149 minor_code 35)
  (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.)
