Comment 7 for bug 197665

I am running a system that was upgraded from Gutsy to Hardy and updated a week ago (mid-May 2008) and am seeing this too. Wasn't a problem with Gutsy. I agree with the posters in this thread and that thread - this doesn't seems like a duplicate - can we get this unmarked and reopened, or should I open a new bug?

I'm seeing the error mentioned in the headline when I vnc into my server (which runs Xfce). When I execute manually, no crash, just erroring out:

~$ gnome-settings-daemon

The program 'gnome-settings-daemon' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadWindow (invalid Window parameter)'.
  (Details: serial 3728 error_code 3 request_code 20 minor_code 0)
  (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
   that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
   To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line
   option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
   backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)

I can attach xorg.conf if someone reopens this bug.
