Help "Gapps Stopped Working" Message After Reboot

Is anyone getting this message recently after you reboot your device? Both my VW LG G2 and Nexus 7 tablet are doing it. After a reboot or power on, there's always popup stating that the gapps service stopped responding or working. You close the popup and all is fine though.
 
Most likely due to using Google keyboard or another 3rd party keyboard not native to the device. Seems to be affecting multiple devices on KK but it's oddly sporadic and doesn't affect all.

Test yours by switching to the device's native keyboard, reboot and see if error disappears.

As you mentioned, appears to be innocuous in nature and doesn't affect function other than being an annoyance.
 
Confirmed that the Google keyboard is the issue there. It went away when I switched back to Swype this weekend.

This message is one time thing at boot, and is not service effecting, if you prefer you can stay with Swype, but if you like the Google Keyboard you can switch back... it is more of a bogus message.
