Package: gnome-settings-daemon
Version: 2.24.1-3
Severity: important

After upgrading, top shows gnome-settings-daemon taking 100% of a CPU.
Upon logging in to gdm, I get the error dialog about not being able to connect
to the gnome-settings daemon.

If I move the libxrandr.so plugin, it spins while loading libxsettings.so.
If I move the libxsettings.so plugin, it spins while registering GsdSoundPlugin.
