I'd have asked a question like this on the -gnome list, they can probably tell you if g-s-d has some other runtime dependency that is new in 11.3. I'd also explain "can't do that any more" in more detail.
Does anybody else use gnome-settings-daemon in this manner? If so, is it working for you in 11.3? FWIW I've used g-s-d to get correct icons in nm-applet when working on knetworkmanager in the past, but hadn't tried it on 11.3 until you asked. Sure enough there is no app called gnome-settings-daemon in $PATH when the eponymous package is installed. Looking at the RPM file list, 2 things stand out: an executable in /usr/lib/gnome-settings-daemon/gnome-settings-daemon and a service definition in /usr/share/dbus-1/services/org.gnome.SettingsDaemon.service This tells me that g-s-d is now a DBUS service that is started on demand.
Once upon a time one could run "dbus-monitor --session" / "dbus-monitor
--system" to 'sniff' the D-Bus to see what was going on.
awilliam@linux-yu4c:~> rpm -qf /bin/dbus-monitor
dbus-1-1.2.24-1.18.x86_64
I'd assume that still works.
