Bug#788373: gnome-settings-daemon: Session dies with "Oh no..." when Wacom tablet is connected

[Andreas Kloeckner]

Package: gnome-settings-daemon
Version: 3.16.2-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

When I have my Wacom tablet ("Intuos Pen & Touch Small", ID VID 0x056a
PID 0x0302) connected during startup or resume-from-suspend, my Gnome
3.16 session will refuse to start with an "Oh no, something has gone
wrong" message. Plugging in the tablet after startup has no adverse
effect as far as I can tell.

Using 'journalctl -b /usr/bin/gnome-session', I was able to find the
following incriminating evidence:

Thanks for your maintainership of Gnome in Debian!
