Hi!

This package is the sole reason I have xsettingsd installed, why?

$ aptitude why xsettingsd
i   lxqt-branding-debian Depends xsettingsd

$ apt rdepends xsettingsd
xsettingsd
Reverse Depends:
  Depends: xsettingsd-dbgsym (= 1.0.2-1)
 |Recommends: kde-config-gtk-style
  Recommends: xsettings-kde
  Recommends: lxqt-config
  Depends: lxqt-branding-debian

So even Plasma/KDE merely recommends it (or an alternative), so does
lxqt-config itself. As far as I'm aware XSETTINGS is chiefly a GTK
thing, I'm never running the daemon and can still use this package
without issue. It clearly does not depend on it.

Regards
Oliver
