Bug#479119: gnome-screensaver: Ignores /var/lib/gconf/debian.defauls/%gconf-tree.xml

Package: gnome-screensaver
Version: 2.14.3-3
Severity: normal


I've been trying to change the default (e.g. of all .gconf* files are 
removed from user's home directory and user is logged back in), and it 
appears that the %gconf-tree.xml in /var/lib/gconf/debian-defaults, 
generated by update-gconf-defaults from files in 
/usr/share/gconf/defaults, is ignored.  

Despite having set mode to random and making sure all the default 
screensavers are listed, when I erase the user gnome config stuff and 
logout and log back in, when I look at the screensaver preferences they 
are for the floating debian.

This is in Etch - if it's fixed in Lenny please tell me (I can't use it 
for this system because it's going out the door next week, and I only 
send out systems based on -stable) so I know that then lenny is stable 
that this will be resolved.  It might not be since it's probably not the 
most widely used feature on a debian system.

I have attached the generated %gconf-tree.xml from 
/var/lib/gconf/defaults
