\fBunity\-settings\-daemon\fR
|
|
provides many session\-wide services and functions that require a long\-running process\&. Among the services implemented by unity\-settings\-daemon are an XSettings manager, which provides theming, font and other settings to GTK+ applications, and a clipboard manager, which preserves clipboard contents when an application exits\&. Many user interface elements of
|
|
\fBunity\fR
|
|
and
|
|
\fBunity\-control\-center\fR
|
|
rely on unity\-settings\-daemon for their functionality\&.
|
|
.PP
|
|
The internal architecture of unity\-settings\-daemon consists of a number of plugins, which provide functionality such as printer notifications, software update monitoring, background changing, etc\&. For debugging purposes, these plugins can be individually disabled by changing the gsettings key
|
|
org\&.gnome\&.settings\-daemon\&.plugins\&.\fIplugin\-name\fR\&.active, where
|
|
\fIplugin\-name\fR
|
|
is the name of the plugin\&. To see a list of all plugins, use the command
|
|
\fB gsettings list\-children org\&.gnome\&.settings\-daemon\&.plugins \fR
|
|
.PP
|
|
unity\-settings\-daemon takes the name org\&.gnome\&.SettingsDaemon on the session bus to ensure that only one instance is running\&. Some plugins export objects under this name to make their functionality available to other applications\&. The interfaces of these objects should generally be considered private and unstable\&.

unity\-settings\-daemon is a required component of the Unity desktop, i\&.e\&. it is listed in the RequiredComponents field of
|
|
/usr/share/gnome\-session/sessions/gnome\&.session\&. It is started in the initialization phase of the session, and
|
|
\fBgnome\-session\fR

will restart it if it crashes\&.
