Btw, I can't really reproduce the issue, that a segfaulting
gnome-settings-daemon causes the fail-whale to show up, that is the
session is closed.

I'm wondering if there is something else going on and this is is due to
a special configuration/setup on your side.

Can you reproduce the fail-whale on g-s-d segfaults with a fresh user
account?

Can you also please either try to get a backtrace or a core dump.
Instructions have been given in the previous emails.
