That's totally wrong and to be honnest your behaviour doesn't help at
all. Perhaps it you was not so agressive it would be more easy to
discuss.

"Subject: Re: gnome-settings-daemon not in default PATH
From: Ross Burton <ross@debian.org>
...
gnome-settings-daemon is part of the lower-level GNOME platform,"

Seems to be an opinion too. We have also talked with Arnaud (who is the
maintainer on IRC and he seems to agree that's g-s-d is no needed in the
path)

No, my position is "go in bugzilla to fix this "bug" in the source if
it's really a bug"

I'm not going to reply to somebody such agressive, sorry.

Read the bug report. 2 people think that g-s-d should be in PATH, 3
people think that's not its place (and the maintainer agree with these
3), face it you don't have a consensus.

I've read what you said, but honnestly you should be much less agressive
if you want to be listened ...

This bug is tagged + forward, easy to read the url ...
