[mouse]: gnome-settings-daemon crashed with signal 5 in _XReply()

[Jonathan]

Inferring from the title, it seems that when I moved the mouse to some position, the daemon crashed.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Side-effects: The theme reset back to some strange theme. Then it went back to my theme. However, the unity panel somehow wasn't aware of it. Tried restarting unity, yet it crashed altogether. Started unity, and the unity panel finally was 'aware' of it and switched to the Radiance theme. (fixed, yay!).

Now it was nautilus that didn't adjust the pathbar theme to Radiance. Tried killing nautilus. Successfully killed, but I hit the X button in the terminal (Oops!). Everything froze, so my last resort was the console login (Ctrl+Alt+F1 for /dev/tty1). Finished killing the terminal. Switched back to /dev/pts/3. Started nautilus. Problem worked around.

This happened in ubuntu raring and saucy (13.04 and 13.10)

BTW this bug report was filed manually using information collected by apport, though wasn't filed directly through apport as it kept complaining that there was no internet connection (although I do).

Tried it, but apport-retrace would crash. Sorry.
