I'm also seeing this bug. 

Ran it through gdb, this is the stack trace I got:

Comment 2 Pavel Šefránek 2006-03-25 20:35:29 UTC

I have the same problem.
--
Description of the crash:
gconf-editor freezes immediately after changing key. It can be
everything: string, bool, float...
If I try to change the value of key, gconf-editor freezes immediately
after I confirm an operation (pressing Enter key)

Steps to reproduce the crash:
1. I select for example the key /apps/evince/override_restrictions and I
try to change it to true (now is set to false)
2. I see no result
3. gconf-editor window freezes immediately and kill -9 is the only way
to kill it.

Expected Results:
I want to see result immediately. But window freezes.

How often does this happen?
Always

Additional Information:
The value of the key has been changed, due to this result:
$ gconftool-2 -g /apps/evince/override_restrictions
true

So, gconf-editor changes the value, but it freezes before I can see this
change.
Gconftool-2 works perfectly as you can see.

*** Bug 336060 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

Comment 4 PETER.CAMPBELL 2006-03-26 14:53:35 UTC

the behaviour I reported as the initial bug no longer occurs with the package gconf-editor 2.14.0-0ubuntu2 distributed today.

thanks!

Comment 5 Pavel Šefránek 2006-04-12 15:51:35 UTC

I can confirm that bug was resolved and described behaviour no longer exists.
Change to FIXED, pls.
