Hello Armin, I have just solved it. In this case it is a failure on the installers part of gnome-settings-daemon. It did not copy the gnome-settings-daemon.desktop into /usr/share/applications during install as it was meant to. I ran gnome-session --debug and it went through the process of looking for the components and failed. I then looked in the /usr/share/applications directory and found it was indeed missing. Copying it from the /data directory of the source code fixed it. Now to put that little gem onto the page so that it will not frustrate others.
