I'm pretty new to dconf, so I'm making some assumptions which may be incorrect. When dconf update is run as root, that only updates settings which are either mandatory or defaults system-wide. Neither of those changes should result in a change in the users home directory, and if a user wasn't logged in, nothing would happen currently. Because of that, I'm not sure that dconf update should be sending any signals which would trigger a gconf sync. At most, it should just re-read the system settings in order to accept the new default or mandatory settings. Even if that doesn't happen, on next login, they will be re-read, right?
Unrelated, I'm surprised to find dconf defaults that don't match up with gconf defaults. Like the metacity button_layout dconf default puts the buttons back on the right. This was the primary reason I noticed this was all happening in the first place. when dconf update ran, it updated the gconf setting for the button layout and moved the buttons back the the right. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1071950 Title: gnome-settings-daemon dconf to gconf plugin causes settings to be lost To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-settings-daemon/+bug/1071950/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
