The above mentioned bug, in addition to being related to a different distribution, doesn't seem to be reproducible. The original author themselves mentions conflicts with other packages from a third-party repository, which should already invalidate any such report. I'm currently running gnome-control-center 1:42.3-1 with an empty (equivs generated) gnome-remote-desktop and I don't have any issues, nor did I have them with previous versions. > If you want to keep gnome-remote-desktop from running, why don't you > mask and disable the systemd user services? > > You could also lockdown the gsettings values.

This imposes an unreasonable burden to users who simply want to avoid having an additional, unnecessary, non-essential service for which a gnome component only provides an optional interface. The proper solution would be to remove gnome-remote-desktop as a dependency and ideally add it as a recommended or suggested package. > I'll probably close this bug. Please don't. Thanks, Marco
