NAME

       cinnamon-settings-daemon - Cinnamon settings daemon

SYNOPSIS

       cinnamon-settings-daemon [OPTION...]

DESCRIPTION

       cinnamon-settings-daemon provides many session-wide services and functions that require a long-running
       process. Among the services implemented by cinnamon-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 cinnamon and
       cinnamon-settings rely on cinnamon-settings-daemon for their functionality.

       The internal architecture of cinnamon-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.cinnamon.settings-daemon.plugins.plugin-name.active, where plugin-name is the name of the plugin. To
       see a list of all plugins, use the command
        gsettings list-children org.cinnamon.settings-daemon.plugins

       cinnamon-settings-daemon takes the name org.cinnamon.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.

       cinnamon-settings-daemon is a required component of the Cinnamon desktop, i.e. it is listed in the
       RequiredComponents field of /usr/share/cinnamon-session/sessions/cinnamon.session. It is started in the
       initialization phase of the session, and cinnamon-session will restart it if it crashes.
