Title:
  Comparison of exit_status in run_custom_command is wrong

Status in “gnome-settings-daemon” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged
Status in “gnome-settings-daemon” source package in Trusty:
  New

Bug description:
  In file /plugins/common/gsd-input-helper.c in function
  run_custom_command the variable exit_status doesn't contain the exit
  status of the process, so the statement "return (exit_status == 1);"
  is wrong.

  The documentation (https://developer.gnome.org/glib/stable/glib-Spawning-Processes.html#g-spawn-sync) says:
  exit_status    return location for child exit status, as returned by waitpid(), or NULL.

  And in the documentation of waitpid
  (http://linux.die.net/man/2/waitpid) exit_status is described.

  You have to do something like this:
  if (WIFEXITED(exit_status) == FALSE) {
      return FALSE;
  }
  return (WEXITSTATUS(exit_status) == 1);
