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.
