so you could get past gdm, right?

i tried to reproduce with a full dive into [nonprism] (`pacman -Syyuu
your-privacy`) instead of just replacing the 2 packages, but in my
case i was greeted with a borked gdm which didn't show anything apart
from the pointer.

which pulled geoclue2 as dep, right? i don't know how similar our
experiences are, but this bit right here would also make sense to
mine. i'll explain...

apparently not. i uninstalled them in full, one by one, and at no
point did gdm work. doesn't imply they aren't required in updated
form, but here comes the interesting part: i put 'em back, then i
restored the stuff that your-privacy originally conflicted with, one
at a time. _i could recover gnome when geoclue2 was present_, no need
for extra/gnome-settings-daemon.

could you try this combination? this would mean there's another
dependency on geoclue2 we must get rid of, somewhere.
