We already had a discussion and we have different opinion on what is the
g-s-d and what it should do, so let's waiting for an upstream advice,
talking hours will not change your point of view I guess and probably
not mine too.

Are you asserting that you're right and that we should just do what you
said ? You don't have to request actions, you've reported a bug, several
people disagree on it so let's wait a consensus before taking decision.

And have you find a documentation saying tha g-s-d is an user land
software ?

That's the point, we don't have to ...

no need of panel to run session ...

"user" commands

Are you going to fill RC bug for all stuffs not need in the path and
staying in /usr/lib ?


BTW this discussion is going nowhere, you're using again and again the
same arguments, I've understood them and we don't agree on what's
supposed to do the settings-daemon and what's broken or not.
Please continue this on bugzilla we will stay to upstream advice.
