Description Lars-Peter Clausen 2009-01-11 02:34:56 CET 
xfsettingsd does some string formating in registry.c without checking its string parameters for nullness. (line 306 and 358) Since the default value for one XSETTING_ENTRY_GTK_CURSORTHEMENAME property is NULL which is used as a formating parameter it causes a segfault.

The attached patch adds checks for nullness and fixes the problem.
