gnome-settings-daemon crashes on start

[ginnyh532]

gnome-settings-daemon crashed on my computer. I am running Precise - Ubuntu 12.04. I have almost no control of my keyboard and mouse. The version of gnome-settings-daemon I am (not) running is 3.2.2-0ubuntu5.

What I expected is for my computer to respond to clicks on buttons or slides. I cannot use the mouse to close windows. I am making my way through this form by using the tab key. For all intents and purposes, I cannot use my computer as is.

Thank you for your bug report, could you add your .xsession-errors to the bug?

I hope this helps. I would like to keep testing Precise, but I need to be able to use my desktop.

[ginnyh532 (ginnyh532)]

The problem has gone away. I don't know exactly which update fixed it.

[ginnyh532 (ginnyh532)]

The problem has come back after today's update removed ubuntu-desktop and other files. Sorry to bother you.
