I forgot to comment here. When I tested the new gnome-desktop with the sid rdeps
rebuilt against it, I realized that gnome-settings-daemon had a few plugins that
were failing because of the missing API (which didn't trigger a build failure
because they are plugins...). I was able to fix a few but one or two important
ones I couldn't fix because they relied on the removed API. What upstream has
done is move that functionality to gnome-shell/mutter, so we need to update
gnome-shell/mutter/gnome-settings-daemon/gnome-desktop at the same time (or at
least that is my current understanding). Thus I'd like to do the other
transitions (gnome-online-accounts, evolution-data-server) first, and leave this
one for the end.
Cheers,
Emilio
