[Enrico Maria Casarotti]

Package: gnome-settings-daemon
Version: 3.18.2-1
Followup-For: Bug #803207

Dear Maintainer,
after the last dist-upgrade on stretch/sid testing, all the system became very
slow,
I noticed a high memory usage of gnome-settings-daemon process, currently 2,4
GB and increasing with time
Thanks
