Bug description:
  Proposed a SRU package for oneiric

  [Summary]

  Patch: http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ossug-hychen/gnome-settings-
  daemon/fix-868400-oneiric/revision/184

  bzr branch: https://code.launchpad.net/~ossug-hychen/gnome-settings-
  daemon/fix-868400-oneiric

  [IMPACT]

   * touchpad is disabled sometines because 2 syndaemon instances. (one is launched by lightdm, anthoer one is launched by current user.)
   * ALPS touchpad does not use syndaemon, so ALPS users will not be impacted.

  [TESTCASE]

   1. kill gnome-settings-daemon
   2. check syndaemon has only 1 instance after gnome-setitngs-daemon re-launched

  [Regression Potential]

   * the patch is from gnome-settings-daemon package in precise
   * the risk is low because the patch only add the code to make sure syndaemon be killed if gnome-settings-daemon is killed
