comment:
:It's getting from bad to worse. I've reported this bug in FC14 and FC15, where the result of it was that GUI settings (such as theme colours, icons and fonts) were lost until gnome-settings-daemon was restarted.
:Now it actually started KILLING the Xorg server. Great. The reason for this? Yes, it's shitty Apple hardware, but still - under no circumstances should Xorg be killed because of this:

The same again, this time without crashing the X server.

I don't how it happened
Comment 8 Grega Bremec 2011-12-03 12:21:00 UTC 
The Apple MacBook 4.1 keyboard and trackpad are connected internally using USB. The USB host they are connected to and/or the PCB they are connected through have a bug thet will sometimes fire up a storm of bogus interrupts, thereby confusing the host controller into resetting the bus. Several times in a row, until the interrupt storm settles down. This is the background to this bug.

The bug itself is that gnome-settings-daemon crashes due to SIGSEGV in such cases.

In previous versions it only reset GUI settings to defaults and most of the problems were resolved by restarting it (f.e. opening the "Appearance" applet of GNOME 2).

Now, it is only rarely that Xorg server survives this (see my other post for one such case). Usually it will crash completely due to gnome-settings-daemon's fault, forcing a user to log in again.

BTW, I am running a vesafb session, so GNOME 3 session is in fallback mode. No acceleration whatsoever.
Comment 9 Grega Bremec 2011-12-03 12:36:22 UTC 
Just a real-life equivalent of my case (where bad hardware is to blame): a user disconnects their USB HID, changes their mind and reconnects it back immediately. That could basically describe what's going on here in the simplest of terms.
