Description of problem:
Python will segfault if you try to read GConf keys.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
gnome-python2-gconf-2.12.4-1.i386

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Pick one:

python -c 'import gconf; c=gconf.Client();
c.get_bool("/desktop/gnome/background/draw_background")'

python -c 'import gconf; c=gconf.Client();
c.get("/desktop/gnome/background/draw_background")'

python -c 'import gconf; c=gconf.Client();
c.get_string("/desktop/gnome/background/picture_filename")'

Probably others, but I got bored. :)

Actual results:
segmentation fault  python -c

Expected results:
A return value.



Jeremy commented:

Don't you need to do 'c = gconf.client_get_default()' rather than just
instantiating a random GConfClient?
