As I understand this, it's not really a bug in gnome-settings-daemon, but a more complex issue.
The problem is that this version of gnome-settings-daemon needs a more recent version of gnome-session, wish is not yet un testing because it depends on xorg 7.4 (and that's also the reason why upgrading is not really always a solution, as the xorg 7.4 in sid has some serious issues with some display driver, like intel (needing a 2.6.30-rc kernel to work). As stated on http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=568989 : Using the sid (2.26) version of gnome-session on xorg 7.3 cause a bug in some idlecounter stuff, patched ont xorg git: http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/xserver/commit/?id=1f4fb0225b278d1cf4145aebeb0bdd23dc8f62d5 Rebuilding the squeeze package of xorg-server-core with this patch corrects the problem, allowing the use of gnome-session 2.26 on squeeze without version jumping Xorg, and solving the gnome-settings-daemon corner-case. Appart the problem that the testing version of Xorg will only build with libxfont-dev from stable (because /usr/share/X11/fonts/fontmod.h is not available from the libxfont-dev in testing), this is a fairly simple solution :) Maybe we could: * Open a does-not-build bug for xorg-server-core for the compilation issue, * Open a wishlist bug for xorg-server-core with the specified commit as patch, * If applied, change the "breaks" line of gnome-session 2.26 to enable it to be installed on the upgraded testing, then push the package on testing. So we can have a working testing configuration for the time beeing, before the Xorg 7.4 push (that may happen sooner or later anyway). -- Nicolas Trecourt <fo...@fosconetwork.org> PGP Key fingerprint: BB18 54D5 2843 D23C 3069 CCED DEEE F150 B565 2199 IRC: irc://irc.freenode.net/~fosco psyc: psyc://psyc.wirefull.org/~fosco jabber: xmpp:fo...@xmpp.wirefull.org
