Package: gnome-settings-daemon Version: 3.28.1-1 Severity: wishlist gnome-settings-daemon is started via gnome-session so there's (at least as I understand it) no need to have it in /etc/xdg/autostart as well. Having it in there makes debugging session problems harder (since it's not clear which instance one is looking at), it also makes customizing the session harder since even with an alternative sesssion file all the settings daemon's are started due to being in /etc/xdg/autostart.
If this looks right I can come up with a patch.
