Description Carmine Paolino 2006-05-01 01:11:28 UTC

gnome-settings-daemon creshes if it's used with xorg7 evdev driver, because of a  bad mouse button swapping code. I've attached a patch to solve this. Please introduce in gnome-base/control-center ebuild

earcar@hulk ~ $ gnome-settings-daemon --sync
The program 'gnome-settings-daemon' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation)'.
(Details: serial 3098 error_code 2 request_code 116 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.)

backend does not require manual layout management - but
it is provided by the application
