Other information:
Disabling keyboard and mouse plugin helps, g-s-d is running without segfault. 

$ gconftool-2 -R /apps/gnome_settings_daemon/plugins/keyboard
 priority = 6
 active = false

$ gconftool-2 -R /apps/gnome_settings_daemon/plugins/mouse
 priority = 7

I've seen bug #562977 and I'm collecting more data. This patch helped me partially.
Comment 3 Mikolaj Kucharski 2009-01-28 20:01:12 UTC 
Patch[#ref1] from 562977 resolved the segfault problem. I can enable mouse plugin and everything is working fine.

However with applied patch and enabled keyboard plugin I've got wrong keyboard mapping and basically cannot use keyboard at all. Disabling keyboard plugin resolves the problem.

Is there any patch for that issue? How I can help?
