I, for one, pinned g-s-d to Yuri's PPA, which means I won't have 
problems when a new release comes along and he didn't have time to update

iacobs@shire:~$ cat /etc/apt/preferences.d/gsd-yuri

this is a (big) part of the problem, g-s-d hardcodes a specific 
behaviour and doesn't care about things configured in other places; it 
will even reset that behaviour when you add / remove a mouse, for 
instance; <rant>while there were hints of this before, lately it became 
obvious that Gnome devs think all their users are idiots and and the 
only way to use one's computer should be what their _designers_ came up 
with - see Gnome 3 power manager settings, minimize button 
discussions</rant>
