Makes debugging a hell. Debugging gnome-setting-daemon is already quite
complicated as it is, trust me...
One solution, which as far as I remember is quite close to what KDE does
would be:
- another super-daemon, very very light
- the ability to launch one or more "plugins" individually (think,
debugging a complicated daemon program)
- the ability to add/remove auto-started daemons.
