I want to disable GNOME-Shell animations. I can do so through dconf (/org/gnome/desktop/interface/enable-animations). However, this lasts only until I will log out, because when gnome-settings-daemon starts, it will bring back the default value (true). I've tested this by killing gnome-settings-daemon during session.

As a workaround I've added this as automatic startup in gnome-session-properties: "dconf write /org/gnome/desktop/interface/enable-animations false". It works fine.

OS: Arch Linux
GNOME version: 3.8.2

Workaround:

gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.remote-display active false

Followed by:

gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface enable-animations false
Comment 2 Christian Stadelmann 2013-07-07 19:18:26 UTC 
same thing here. I hunted it down using dconf blame. Every time gnome-settings-deamon starts animations get enabled.
The reason is some code in gsd-remote-display-manager.c .
I think org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.remote-display.active should be false by default to fix this. I see no reason to enable this plugin by default.
