Package: gnome-settings-daemon
Version: 43.0-4
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: david at hardeman.nu

gsd-smartcard currently checks for the insertion/removal of smartcards
in reader devices which where present at the time gsd-smartcard was
started, but does not account for new smartcard readers appearing
after gsd-smartcard was started.

This patch adds support for checking for the addition of new slots
(i.e. smartcard readers), which is necessary to support devices
like the Yubikey (a "reader" and a smartcard) which may be inserted
after gsd-smartcard was started.
