NAME

       gnome-settings-daemon - GNOME settings daemon

SYNOPSIS

       gnome-settings-daemon [OPTION...]

DESCRIPTION

       gnome-settings-daemon provides many session-wide services and functions that require a long-running process. Among the services implemented
       by gnome-settings-daemon are an XSettings manager, which provides theming, font and other settings to GTK+ applications, and a clipboard
       manager, which preserves clipboard contents when an application exits. Many user interface elements of gnome-shell and gnome-control-center
       rely on gnome-settings-daemon for their functionality.

       The internal architecture of gnome-settings-daemon consists of a number of plugins, which provide functionality such as printer
       notifications, software update monitoring, background changing, etc. For debugging purposes, these plugins can be individually disabled by
       changing the gsettings key org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.plugin-name.active, where plugin-name is the name of the plugin. To see a list
       of all plugins, use the command
	gsettings list-children org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins

       gnome-settings-daemon takes the name org.gnome.SettingsDaemon on the session bus to ensure that only one instance is running. Some plugins
       export objects under this name to make their functionality available to other applications. The interfaces of these objects should
       generally be considered private and unstable.

       gnome-settings-daemon is a required component of the GNOME desktop, i.e. it is listed in the RequiredComponents field of
       /usr/share/gnome-session/sessions/gnome.session. It is started in the initialization phase of the session, and gnome-session will restart
       it if it crashes.

OPTIONS

       -h, --help
	   Prints a short help text and exits.

       --debug
	   Enables debugging code.

       --timed-exit
	   Exits after a timeout (30 seconds) for debugging.

FILES

       /usr/share/gnome-session/sessions/gnome.session
	   GNOME session definition file where gnome-settings-daemon is listed as a required component.

       /etc/xdg/autostart/gnome-settings-daemon.desktop
	   Autostart file for gnome-settings-daemon, where its autostart phase is set.
