Comment: There is a more Debian friendly way to use the patch. It applies fine on control-center source package. I think it is simpler than using the GNOME CVS. What is inconvenient is that you will need to reinstall the built package after each dist-upgrade since apt will want to replace it (I guess I could pin the version but I haven't looked into that). ---- In a terminal, use the following commands to build a .deb package that will replace the default gnome-control-center package. $ apt-get source control-center this will create a directory named control-center-2.13.93 (or something similar) . Get the patch from the GNOME bugzilla and save it in that directory. $ sudo apt-get build-dep control-center $ sudo apt-get install build-essentials dpkg-dev this will install a slew of package required to build the gnome-control- center package. still in the control-center-2.13.93 directory, use $ patch -p0 < gnome.bugzilla.patch.file this will patch the required file. Then type: $ dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot if everything goes well, you will have a some .deb package in the parent directory (cd ..). Install the new package: $ sudo dpkg -i gnome-control-center-dbg_2.13.93-0ubuntu2_amd64.deb if you restart GNOME, gnome-settings-daemon will start with the -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
