Package: gconf2
Version: 2.6.4-1
Severity: important
If you give gconfd-2 a SIGHUP, as I believe happens when a gnome
package is upgraded, it seems to forget about applications listening
for changes. This is confusing for users, as they change things, and
the application doesn't change as expected.
To reproduce:
1) killall -USR1 gconfd-2 (to get verbose logging in the syslog)
2) Run gnome-theme-manager, and check that it changes theme when
you select a new theme
3) killall -HUP gconfd-2
4) Wait till you see " Reloading all databases" in the syslog (you may need
to change a few keys to get this to occur)
5) Now change the theme again.
Notice that the last time the theme is changed, gconf is told of the
keys being changed, but doesn't notify applications listening.
