This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)'.

(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.)

I sometimes see the same thing. Today it happened while playing a long running game of freeciv and the errors in .xsession-errors prior to the one where gnome-settings daemon crashed looked like:
(freeciv- gtk2:22823) : Gdk-WARNING **: XID collision, trouble ahead
When gnome-settings- daemon crashes, it is very disconcerting as the entire desktop resets to some global system default theme and repaints itself. The sudden change is very jarring, and without any explanation until you examine .xsession-errors.
