Bug description:
  gnome-settings-daemon takes 5 seconds to register with the session
  manager, which is when compiz is started (see
  http://ubuntuone.com/0xKppDPyZiHP9aDzmzzPoR - and this *isn't* a slow
  machine). I turned on the profiling support in g-s-d, and modified the
  profiling function to print the profile markers to stdout, with some
  timestamps. This is what I see (on a cold start):

  The point at which g-s-d registers with the session manage is just
  after its main loop starts to run, which happens straight after this
  point:

  4.393722 0.     6 MARK: gnome-settings-daemon
  gnome_settings_manager_start: end initializing plugins.

  So, that's 4.39 seconds there, before the session even begins to load
  anything else. Looking through the data shows 3 fairly long delays:

  0. 23633 0.    14 MARK: gnome-settings-daemon gsd_power_manager_start: start 
  0.568517 0.544884 MARK: gnome-settings-daemon gsd_power_manager_start: end

  0.569608 0.    34 MARK: gnome-settings-daemon gsd_color_manager_start: start 
  1. 83437 0.513829 MARK: gnome-settings-daemon gsd_color_manager_start: end 

  So, the color and power plugins eat up a total of 1 second between
  them. There surely should be no reason at all for this. The big
  culprit however, is:

  1. 84080 0.    15 MARK: gnome-settings-daemon gsd_xrandr_manager_start: start 
  3.201221 2.117141 MARK: gnome-settings-daemon gsd_xrandr_manager_start: end 

  Ouch! Didn't we fix this once already?
