Details

Description:
Up to version 3.22.2-1, the gnome settings daemon executable could be found at /usr/lib/gnome-settings-daemon/gnome-settings-daemon. As I don't use the gnome desktop but still like the daemon to control the appearance of any gtk/gnome apps, I am usually starting it as part of my .xinitrc.

However, with my upgrade to 3.24.1-1 today the executable disappeared. Did upstream move it somewhere else or is this a bug? Didn't find it in the package list (pacman -Ql gnome-settings-daemon) nor anywhere in my path


Additional info:
* package version(s): 3.24.1-1
This task depends upon

gnome-settings-daemon is no longer a big binary with plugin libraries that tend to crash a lot. Each plugin has its own binary in /usr/lib/gnome-settings-daemon/, so now you can just run /usr/lib/gnome-settings-daemon/gsd-xsettings instead of the complete daemon with all the plugins that you don't need on a non-gnome desktop.
