Just what the message says. Granted, we shouldn't crash anyway. I'll fix that when the freeze is over next week.

Comment 2 Jose M. daLuz 2008-03-08 00:34:40 UTC

Hmmm, it's not just motion_acceleration, here are all of the values:

$ gconftool-2 -R /desktop/gnome/peripherals/mouse
 cursor_theme = default
 cursor_size = 18

And that's it.

Comment 3 Jens Granseuer 2008-03-08 10:26:24 UTC

Yes, as noted, you haven't installed the GConf schema.

Comment 4 Jens Granseuer 2008-03-11 17:34:03 UTC

        * gconf-property-editor.c: (peditor_numeric_range_widget_changed): don't
        free the GConf value if we don't have one. Fixes a crash when schemas
        are not properly installed (bug #520744)
