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.
