Detective work Yes, gnome-settings-daemon-nopulse (3.8.3-1) and mate-settings-daemon (1.6.1-1) were installed when I installed mate and cinnamon. Around 2 month later cinnamon-settings-daemon (2.0.5-1) was installed. IOW gnome-settings-daemon seemingly was a dependency of cinnamon and ibus seemingly was a dependency of gnome-settings-daemon, since it was a version < 3.10.2-3.
