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.
Sure enough,
# qdbus org.gnome.SettingsDaemon / /org /org/gnome /org/gnome/SettingsDaemon
showing that trying to access the daemon causes it to start.
So the question for the gnome list is, "why don't my apps that need g-s-d cause it to autostart?"
HTH
You are too smart for your own good :p Thanks, those are the pieces of the puzzle that I would not have been able to put together. Watching it start and then watching nothing work was puzzling. Now I know where the problem is... Now both Will and Marcus, which gnome list are you talking about? gnome-devel-list@gnome.org --or-- opensuse-gnome@opensuse.org ?? I'll try both -- David C.
