I, for one, pinned g-s-d to Yuri's PPA, which means I won't have
problems when a new release comes along and he didn't have time to update

iacobs@shire:~$ cat /etc/apt/preferences.d/gsd-yuri

this is a (big) part of the problem, g-s-d hardcodes a specific
behaviour and doesn't care about things configured in other places; it
will even reset that behaviour when you add / remove a mouse, for
instance; <rant>while there were hints of this before, lately it became
obvious that Gnome devs think all their users are idiots and and the
only way to use one's computer should be what their _designers_ came up
with - see Gnome 3 power manager settings, minimize button
