Thanks. This did it: exec_always --no-startup-id xset r rate 200 40
Though I wonder why the gnome-settings-daemon is not setting it, like it always has for other distros (again, this is Arch). Btw, dconf is only a setting. You don't need to execute it on every login. Just run it in the shell once, and it sticks: $ dconf write /org/gnome/settings-daemon/plugins/cursor/active false And this led me down another path with Awesome, setting the OnlyShowIn to include i3: https://awesome.naquadah.org/wiki/Quickly_Setting_up_Awesome_with_Gnome But that didn't seem to change anything. Last, I also changed my paths to use the 64bit versions of the daemons: # exec once in Arch Linux exec --no-startup-id /usr/bin/vmware-user-suid-wrapper exec --no-startup-id /usr/lib64/gnome-settings-daemon/gnome-settings-daemon & exec --no-startup-id /usr/lib64/gnome-settings-daemon/gnome-settings-daemon-localeexec & #exec --no-startup-id /usr/bin/gnome-keyring-daemon --start --components=pkcs11,secrets,ssh,gpg # /usr/lib/policykit-1-gnome/polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1 Still didn't change anything... You'll note that I am not starting the gnome-keyring-daemon. I am actually using the gnome-keyring-daemon, and I've completely disabled ssh-agent from managing my keys. GDM starts the gnome-keyring-daemon for me on login, under my username. I found this was different than all other distros. Maybe it's the latest versions of GDM and Gnome that is changing, as running under Arch you get the latest and greatest. Thanks!
