I've actually just reinstalled from scratch (a herd 2 cd image.) I'm not sure the situation is exactly as it was, but it still isn't right. It seems that the only way to make the problem happen is specifically using the gconf-editor. If I use that to set the key to, for example, "error", then: $ gconftool -g /apps/gnome-session/options/splash_image error $ gconftool -u /apps/gnome-session/options/splash_image $ gconftool -g /apps/gnome-session/options/splash_image splash/ubuntu-splash.png And everything works correctly. If I then open gconf-editor, navigate to the key, and select "unset" from the context menu, the screen will then show "splash/gnome-splash.png". However: $ gconftool -g /apps/gnome-session/options/splash_image splash/ubuntu-splash.png Starting gconf-editor again, the key is now shown as "splash/ubuntu- splash.png" again, so it looks like the context menu option doesn't actually set the key wrong, it just displays the wrong text. I guess this is actually just a gconf-editor bug? -- Default gnome splash screen is not ubuntu splash https://launchpad.net/bugs/46638 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
