Hi Jonathan,

thank you for your help! :)

Interestingly....

/root>eix gnome-settings-daemon
* gnome-base/gnome-settings-daemon
     Available versions:  2.32.1-r2 ~*3.8.3 3.8.6.1 {+colord +cups debug +i18n libnotify -openrc-force packagekit policykit pulseaudio +short-touchpad-timeout smartcard test +udev INPUT_DEVICES="wacom"}
     Homepage:            https://git.gnome.org/browse/gnome-settings-daemon
     Description:         Gnome Settings Daemon


...it seems, that gnome-settings/daemon is neither installed
nor pulled in by anything.

Excerpt from the longish bug newsletter from above:

or do I misinterpret something of this.... ?
