Bug Description

groovy (devel branch)

Affected version: gnome-settings-daemon_3.37.0-1ubuntu1
Not affected: gnome-settings-daemon_3.36.1-1ubuntu1 and older

After upgrading to version gnome-settings-daemon_3.37.0-1ubuntu1, the following broke:
- backlight controls (laptop) unresponsive
- backlight slider in the top right menu does not change backlight
- volume controls (laptop + usb keyboard w. media keys) unresposive
- custom gnome-shell keyboard shortcut (ctrl+alt+t) stopped working
- creating a new shortcut in gnome-shell (ctrl+alt+e for xeyes) does not start application

reverting to gnome-settings-daemon_3.36.1-1ubuntu1 and rebooting fixed the issue.
