Sounds like a gnome-session bug as we're overriding the gnome-settings- daemon desktop file in the XDG path to prevent just that:
stgraber@castiana:~/Desktop/menu$ env | grep XDG | grep upstart XDG_CONFIG_DIRS=/etc/xdg/xdg-ubuntu:/usr/share/upstart/xdg:/etc/xdg stgraber@castiana:~/Desktop/menu$ cat /usr/share/upstart/xdg/autostart/gnome-settings-daemon.desktop [Desktop Entry] Type=Application Name=GNOME Settings Daemon Exec=/usr/lib/gnome-settings-daemon/gnome-settings-daemon Hidden=true X-Ubuntu-Gettext-Domain=gnome-settings-daemon -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1181312 Title: Race to start gnome-settings-daemon in upstart user session To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-settings-daemon/+bug/1181312/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
