How do I kill gnome-settings-daemon?

  • 772

I'm trying to kill gnome-settings-daemon as mentioned at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Hotkeys/Troubleshooting so that I can examine keyboard events with xev. However, when I do

killall gnome-settings-daemon

gnome-session just restarts it again.

I'm on Ubuntu 11.10.

gnome-settings-daemon

    11.10...

    sudo -e /etc/xdg/autostart/gnome-settings-daemon.desktop

    Change X-GNOME-AutoRestart=true to X-GNOME-AutoRestart=false

    Save. Does log out/log in suffice? Not sure. Maybe just reboot for simplicity.
