GConf needs GMainLoop to be running to work. In normal hildon
applications Gtk+ takes care of this, as gtk_main() runs a GMainLoop.
You can alter your main() to use GMainLoop:
int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
GMainLoop *loop;
g_type_init();
config_init();
loop = g_main_loop_new(NULL, FALSE);
g_main_loop_run(loop);
return 0;
}
Do note, that unlike with Gtk+'s gtk_main_quit(), with GMainLoops, you
need to pass the loop "object" to g_main_loop_quit, so you'll need to
store the loop pointer and pass it everywhere it is needed. Also note
that gconf_init() is deprecated and needs not be called.
