GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 512745
Update to gnome-settings-daemon changes
Last modified: 2008-01-31 15:53:54 UTC
The gnome-settings-daemon binary changed location in order to allow libdir==libexecdir builds. See also bug #504203. The new location is $(libexecdir)/gnome-settings-daemon/gnome-settings-daemon. Copying a comment from bug#504203: | Comment #10 from William Jon McCann | 2008-01-29 01:55 UTC | | FYI: this change broke GDM which expects LIBEXEC /gnome-settings-daemon.
The issue from bug #504203 has not reached consensus yet.
It seems to make the most sense to move the location of gnome-settings-daemon to address the bug. Then fix GDM to refer to g-s-d in the new location. The only release of GDM that expects LIBEXEC/gnome-settings-daemon is the unstable release, so it should be okay for there to be some instability there.
Thankfully the silly directory is gone.
