Unfortunately yes, at least for me. In my case it definitely has to do with the fact that I have a USB hard disk reporting itself as a keyboard, this is confusing xklavier and causing gsd to crash. I run the command "xinput --set-prop "Western Digital My Book" "Device Enabled" 0" in my .xstartup and start gsd manually and this fixes it for me but I don’t think for other people. Gsd needs to handle errors better from xklavier apparently.

Subject: [Bug 805894] Re: gnome-settings-daemon crashed with signal 5 inxkl_process_error()
Is this still reproducible with g-s-d 3.2? There's no duplicates with that version . Thanks.
Title:
gnome-settings-daemon crashed with signal 5 in xkl_process_error()
Status in “gnome-settings-daemon” package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
Here's a note I included in a similar bug (797947) that may help to
diagnose as this might be a timing issue:
I'd like to add that I can never get gnome-settings-daemon to start
and stay running for more than 5 seconds, UNLESS i take the following
actions, in which case it applies the themes properly and responds to
theme changes and generally works just fine:
1. start 'strace gnome-settings-daemon' in a window
2. wait until the terminal appears to hang in the middle of the output
3. switch to a virtual console (ALT+F1) and login
4. pkill -9 strace
5. switch back to X - everything is fine!
This works about 95% of the time.
This is a laptop that always gets this error on boot up and only has
one screen, no docking station, so its not anything related to screen
size I should think.
