In that link I found
gnome-settings-daemon-dbgsym_3.4.2-0ubuntu2_i386.ddeb
so I did a sudo dpkg -i on it.
Then did
gdb gnome-settings-daemon
run --debug

Created the problem. A whole lot on the console. I looked in http://bugs.launchpad.net/gdb-linaro/>... which seemed to me to be a whole lot of bugs people reported with "no instructions" on how to report. Everything says look in http://bugs.launchpad.net/gdb-linaro/>... which is just a google type list of bugs people found and no instructions on what to do.

So I copied the console output it's 27015 characters long attached.

"backtrace" got
(gdb) backtrace

Did I do things in the right sequence?

Thanks for input on tracking down this bug.
