I didn't need a man page as much as documentation about what gnome-settings-daemon was good for. "man" was the first place I looked. I got this info:

"
This program, utility or function does not have a useful manpage. Before opening a bug to report this, please check with the Debian Bug Tracking System (BTS) at <http://bugs.debian.org/> if a bug has already been reported. If not, you can submit a wishlist bug if you want.
"

So I did.

The reason for me needing docs for g-s-d was that I started looking into fixing "https://bugzilla.ubuntu.com/show_bug.cgi?id=7621";. I found that g-s-d is what's keeping X resources synched with the GNOME settings. I was curious about what the scope of g-s-d is, and what other things it is good for. Since I haven't found any docs for it, I still am :-(.

In case you don't intend to write one (I realize there are probably
more pressing problems around), feel free to close this as WONTFIX.

Saying "there is no need for a man page" is simply false (since I
obviously needed it).  Do you know if there's *any* documentation for
gnome-settings-daemon at all? I tried Google without finding
anything
:-(.

Why in the world would you need a manual page for a *helper* program
which is located in /usr/lib/something? If the program was meant to be
run by the user, it would be located in /usr/bin.
