I am using i3 and I am calling gnome-settings-daemon on start. Should I start any other daemons?

Invoke gnome-control-center from the terminal like so:

$ env XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=GNOME gnome-control-center

This would launch it the traditional way. And you will be able to navigate through the various settings.

You should start unity-settings-daemon instead of gnome-settings-daemon.

That didn't fix my issue. I do have unity-settings-daemon running (I can see it with ps aux) but gnome-control-center starts with the same few items ("Backups" instead of "Firewall Configuration" in my case, all others the same).
