I've had gnome-settings-daemon continue to crash on me regularly in 10.10 (bug 685785), but haven't seen this particular trace recur and I don't have any way to reproduce it. I filed this over two months ago, so to be honest I'm having trouble remembering the exact circumstances which surrounded the crash.
It looks as if another possible NULL return is if gdk_pixmap_foreign_new_for_screen fails. In any case, someone should be checking for an error return and not dereferencing the null pointer, right? I'm surprised that ~/.xsession-errors wasn't automatically attached by apport; if it's routinely useful for diagnosing crashes like this one, that should probably be changed. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/661283 Title: gnome-settings-daemon crashed with SIGSEGV in cairo_set_source_surface() -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
