Bug#549159: Upgrading libglib2.0-0 breaks gnome-settings-daemon

[Martin Roll]

Here is some additional information that could help to narrow the number of
possible reasons down a little bit (at least I hope so).

The following packages were upgraded right before gnome-settings-daemon stopped
working:

As I mentioned earlier a downgrade of libglib2.0-0 to version 2.20.0-5 brought
back some life signs of gnome-settings-daemon again, but this procedure broke a
bunch of other packages that already depend on libglib2.0-0 >= 2.22 and
therefore only served as a temporary test.

As the gnome-settings-daemon version now differs from many of the other gnome
components (2.26 vs. 2.28) I suppose a new version of g-s-d could solve the issue?
