I'm trying to restart unity-settings-daemon with the --debug flag. I couldn't find any information on unity-settings-daemon.

I tried the process listed for 11.10 here: How do I kill gnome-settings-daemon?. I was able to get that process to work for me on Fedora 20.

I changed 

X-GNOME-AutoRestart=true to X-GNOME-AutoRestart=false

in 

/etc/xdg/autostart/unity-settings-daemon.desktop

Then after reboot, 

killall unity-settings-daemon
unity-settings-daemon --debug

I get the error:

(unity-settings-daemon:2390): WARNING **: Name taken or bus went away - shutting down

If I do both commands at the same time (killall unity-settings-daemon && unity-settings-daemon --debug), one out of every 10 times I can restart before it autorestarts, but this isn't reliable. There must be some other configuration file in which to disable autorestart that I don't know about.
