The settings daemon -- process name is ''xfsettingsd'' -- is an application that runs in the background to apply various settings in the desktop. The application 'listens' to the //xfconf// channels and applies them when the user changes the setting in a dialog and configures everything on startup. | The settings daemon -- process name is ''xfsettingsd'' -- is an application that runs in the background to apply various settings in the desktop.

Normally the process is started by the [[:xfce:xfce4-session:|session manager]]. If this is not the case, you can manually start the process in a terminal (it will fork to the background) or check if the application is enabled in the auto start application of the session manager. | Normally the process is started by the [[:xfce:xfce4-session:|session manager]].

| The Settings Daemon, when running, overwrites settings in other desktop components (like GTK+ and X) through the XSETTINGS specification, with its own Xfce settings. This means, for instance, that GTK preferences specified in ''~/gtkrc-2.0'' are ignored in favor of the Xfce settings. You can set these with the Settings Editor (xfce4-settings-editor) in the ''xsettings'' section. For instance, the GTK+ key theme must be changed in xsettings->Gtk->KeyThemeName. |
