Bug#329340: gconf2: Local configuration sources do not work anymore

[Free Ekanayaka]

Package: gconf2
Version: 2.10.1-1
Severity: normal

Hi,

the /etc/gconf/2/path should include local defaults:

# To read in any defaults settings that the Sys Admin may have created
# prior to a desktop system upgrade. The SysAdmin can stick default values
# system-wide in this file.
include /etc/gconf/2/local-defaults.path

I've included a custom configuration source in /etc/gconf/2/local-defaults.path

# GConf values
xml:readonly:/usr/share/cdd/gconf.xml.defaults

which used to work   fine (i.e. new  users got  these defaults at  the
first login) with version 2.8.

Since version 2.10  this doesn't work anymore. I've  even tried to put
my defaults in /etc/gconf/gconf.xml.mandatory/,  but the were  ignored
as well.

Cheers,

Free
