Bug Description

Sorry. I'm sure this is probably a duplicate of one of the 90000 other reports for this same issue, but I still don't see any resolutions.

Every time I boot g-s-d crashes.

Resolved--- Uninstalling gtk2-engines-gtk-qt did the trick. Not sure why it worked, but I reinstalled and removed twice to reproduce.

I have the same problem since trying Hardy Heron Alpha 4+.

Brand new install on a HP NX 9030 Laptop, French language (Canadian French, Québec location)

g-s-d crashes on every boot, except on the live-install-cd.

I tried to update to latest version of every package and then reboot, but the same thing is always happenning.
Here is g-s-d in debug mode, it looks like it crashed on xrandr manager.

I tried installing it, but gnome-settings-daemon still crash upon start-up

Here is as much as I could generate from gdb, but I think I did not install the proper debugging symbols; what package should I install to get the debugging symbols of g-s-d ?
