Two other symptoms I've seen which may be related:

X Error of failed request: XI_BadDevice (invalid Device parameter)
  Major opcode of failed request: 141 (XInputExtension)
  Minor opcode of failed request: 37 (X_ChangeDeviceProperty)
  Device id in failed request: 0x17
  Serial number of failed request: 1476
  Current serial number in output stream: 1477

The above was output by gnome-settings-daemon while it was running in the background attached to a terminal.

** (gnome-settings-daemon:1869): WARNING **: Connection failed, reconnecting...

The above was found in ~/.xsession-errors, adjacent to update-notifier's "checking for valid crashreport now" indicating a crash happened around the same time (though it may or may not have been gnome-settings-daemon).
