I tried to get a stacktrace with gdb. I attached gdb to the running process of gnome-settings-daemon by using a startup-script that contained the following lines:

gdb -batch-silent \
 -ex 'set logging overwrite on' \
 -ex "set logging file /tmp/gdb-gsd-${RANDOM}.txt" \
 -ex 'set logging on' \
 -ex 'handle SIG33 pass nostop noprint' \
 -ex 'set pagination 0' \
 -ex "attach ${pid}" \
 -ex 'continue' \
 -ex 'backtrace full' \
 -ex 'info registers' \
 -ex 'x/16i $pc' \
 -ex 'thread apply all backtrace' \
 -ex 'quit' \
 < /dev/null

When gnome-settings-daemon crashed, the output was as follows:

[Thread debugging using libthread_db enabled]
[New Thread 0xb748db70 (LWP 1861)]
[Thread 0xb748db70 (LWP 1861) exited]

Program exited with code 01.
No stack.
The program has no registers now.
No registers.

Unfortunately there is still no stacktrace. Did I miss something on using gdb?
