'gnome-settings-daemon' : BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)

[dino99]

Binary package hint: gnome-settings-daemon

i've applied the latest updates then rebooted.
Got my theme changed without asking for, and looking at .Xsession-errors:

The program 'gnome-settings-daemon' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)'.
  (Details: serial 947 error_code 8 request_code 3 minor_code 0)
  (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.)

Running into console: sudo gnome-settings-daemon --sync,
the result is :
 - first time: cant detect synaptics device ( this system have not one anyway, package only installed, so it might not complaint)
    so i reconfigure gnome-setting-daemon, then

 - second time:
   oem@dub:~$ sudo gnome-settings-daemon --sync

This bug is still in 10.10.

It happens to me when I change the monitor setup through the NVidia settings application.
