Hi Josselin,

"sudo dpkg --list gnome-settings-daemon" for my laptop returns:


Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold
| Status=Not/Inst/Cfg-files/Unpacked/Failed-cfg/Half-inst/trig-aWait/Trig-pend

ii  gnome-settings 2.24.1-3       daemon handling the GNOME session settings


If you can show me how to temporarily downgrade or upgrade without
destabilizing the GNOME setup or any other setup, and without forcing
modification of other parts of my setup, I would be happy to try it
out.

Thanks,
Brent
