No - there is no manual documentation for gnome-settings-daemon so, until you told me, there was no way to know how to create the log.
This should help (I'm pretty sure I remember there being an update for gstreamer in the latest updates so that is likely to have caused the current issue): [code] ~ $ gnome-settings-daemon --debug
