Same here after upgrading from 11.04 to 11.10.
The ticket 879793 says that the behavior is a random phenomena, which it is not for me. gnome-settings-daemon always dies when the session is started. The .xession-errors contains two errors.
(gnome-settings-daemon:1835): Gdk-WARNING **: The program 'gnome-settings-daemon' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)'.
(Details: serial 505 error_code 8 request_code 147 minor_code 22)
(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.)

There are also warnings about non-existent icons:
