I've had this issue repeatedly. Here are the apps I typically have open when this occurs: Firefox 14, Gnome Terminal, GEdit. This is running in VirtualBox. Looking at strace and .xsession-errors, I see that gnome-settings-daemon appears to be getting into some sort of infinite loop. Hopefully this will help somebody find and fix the root cause.

The .xsession-errors file simply has the following line over and over:

(gnome-settings-daemon:1450): libappindicator-CRITICAL **: app_indicator_set_label: assertion `IS_APP_INDICATOR (self)' failed

The strace has the contents of the attached strace.txt file repeated infinitely.
