Bug#310075: /usr/lib/control-center/gnome-settings-daemon: Want man page for gnome-settings-daemon

[Johan Walles]

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 :-(.

  Regards //Johan

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.
