Gnome Control Centre Display configuration throws error

I am able to launch and run the Gnome monitor/display control utility by launching the following in Lubuntu 13.04

sudo gnome-control-center display

...but whenever I try to actually trigger a change to the display layout, it throws the following error in a dialog...

Failed to apply configuration: %s
GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name org.gnome.SettingsDaemon was not provided by any .service files

I suspect this is because some dependency of gnome-control-center is implicit. Perhaps there is a service which I need to manually start before this will succeed.

This is important as the behaviour of the Gnome monitor control is much richer than other xrandr wrappers like lxrandr or arandr, and in general having access to gnome controls (e.g. for mouse configuration) would be far preferable to the minimal Lubuntu ones.

In particular I would like to retain control of which is the primary screen (in Compiz and LXDE) so that the panel stays on the correct monitor, regardless of the specific layout (currently with the correct layout for the physical placement of my monitors, the panel arrives on the wrong monitor and is invisible). This feature only seems to exist within the Gnome control panel.
