patch to ignore .gconf.path.defaults and .gconf.path.mandatory (577 bytes, patch) 2005-06-23 04:45 UTC, William Lachance	accepted-commit_now	Details \| Review

Description William Lachance 2005-06-23 04:42:59 UTC

Create a profile, save it, attempt to edit it again. A dialog will pop up
complaining that it can't find the XML source to a non-existent directory.

This error seems to be occurring because ".gconf.path.defaults" and
".gconf.path.mandatory" are now being saved to disk (they weren't in 0.18).
Setting them to ignore while editing the profile allows you to reload it
successfully. 

Also see the attached patch which sets the directory monitor to ignore them (not
sure if this is the appropriate solution).

Comment 2 William Lachance 2005-06-23 04:51:10 UTC

Another potential solution would be to ensure that the gconf settings are
applied _after_ the file settings, as that would nuke the (invalid)
.gconf.path.defaults and .gconf.path.mandatory with guaranteed-to-be-working ones.

Comment 3 Mark McLoughlin 2005-06-23 10:05:03 UTC

Thanks, patch looks good, but we should also ignore the .gconf.xml.defaults and
.gconf.xml.mandatory directories ... could you make that change when you're
committing too?
