The symptoms suggest that gnome-settings-daemon is crashing. Perhaps you could run it with strace to see what causes it to exit, if it's not a crash.

Something like this:

# somehow kill the current gnome-settings-daemon instance
# then run a new one with strace:
strace gnome-settings-daemon 2>/tmp/gsd.strace &
# once you repro the symptoms, the end of the strace file should show what gsd did
# just before it quit
