In my case, I can reproduce it and I included the backtrace above yesterday. I have found the issue is because an external USB hard disk (a western digital MyBook 1TB Mirror edition, although other WD MyBook devices also seem to have the same problem) is announcing itself not only as a hard disk but also as an input device, confusing xklavier and then this crashes gnome-settings-daemon.

Jared -- do you have the same issue? If you do "xinput list" do you see any devices that are not really input devices in that list?
