Bug description:
  Ubuntu/Unity uses the GNOME settings daemon for settings. We've made a
  lot of changes appropriate for Ubuntu and Unity (32 patches) which
  makes it hard to maintain and creates a conflict for Ubuntu GNOME to
  use newer upstream versions. Unity 7 will be replaced by Unity 8 in
  the future which is unlikely to need a settings daemon (this
  functionality will be built into the shell).

  So we can continue to remain on the current version of GNOME settings
  daemon but allow Ubuntu GNOME to continue to update we will create a
  new project lp:unity-settings-daemon which is a copy of GNOME settings
  daemon 3.8.6.1 but with appropriate renaming so both can be installed.

  A number of packages that refer to gnome-settings-daemon need to be
  updated to refer to unity-settings-daemon (see bug tasks).

  A PPA for testing is https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-desktop/+archive
  /unity-control-center
