Bug#698190: gnome: Setting "Disable touchpad while writing" breaks the desktop on next session

Package: gnome
Version: 1:3.4+7
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

Setting the "Disable touchpad while writing" option in the Gnome control center apparently does nothing, but after closing my session and opening it again the desktop fails. Sometimes Gnome just fails to start, and when it does, the current GTK theme is not shown (it uses the old GTK look), multimedia keys seem to do nothing, and the touchpad scrolling by draggin the borders stops working.

The symptoms are so weird and apparently unrelated that it's hard to guess what the cause is.
