Now here is something that did help. In effect it is likely much the same as killing gnome-settings-manager, except it is not killed, but just started later:
sudo echo manual >/usr/share/upstart/sessions/gnome-settings- daemon.override This prevents the gnome-settings-daemon to be started by the 'init --user' session manager. I thought now the gnome-settings-daemon might be started by one of /usr/share/upstart/xdg/autostart/gnome-settings-daemon.desktop /etc/xdg/autostart/gnome-settings-daemon.desktop but these don't seem to do anything. Therefore I created a ~/.config/autostart/gsd.desktop which starts gnome-settings-daemon. The downside of this approach in contrast to the kill-approach is that the if the daemon falls over, it is not automatically restarted. Obviously it helps to start the daemon rather later than earlier. Looking at the preconditions in /usr/share/upstart/sessions/gnome-settings-daemon.conf, they are start on started dbus and starting gnome-session INSTANCE=GNOME There is probably only one little thing missing here, but I have no background to guess what it might be. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-settings-daemon in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1292398 Title: multi-monitor : second screen position isn't saved from one session to another To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/elementaryos/+bug/1292398/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
