Description Darren Kenny 2008-01-24 08:42:41 UTC 
On OpenSolaris, we use /usr/lib as our libexec dir. Given that we are now
adding plugins in /usr/lib this causes a conflict since /usr/lib/gnome-settings-daemon is the binary, and as such the plugins directory cannot be created.

To fix this, I've installed the plugins in the directory:

   /usr/lib/gnome-settings-daemon-plugins

I'm not perfectly happy with this, and would like to have a consistent directory name on OpenSolaris and Linux - would it be possible to change where/how the plugins are installed so that it would work on both?
Comment 1 Brian Cameron 2008-01-24 16:14:12 UTC 
Perhaps it makes sense to create a subdirectory named /usr/(lib | libexec)/gnome-settings-daemon and put both the binary and a plugins
subdirectory in there? 

It would be nice if we could work together and resolve this before the 2.22 release when the interfaces become more solid.
