Description Nickolay V. Shmyrev 2004-08-29 10:29:15 UTC 
Hello, I am install schema file as root with 
gconftool-2 --makefile-install-rule. Just after that I run  
gconftool-2 --get /apps/application/key and gconftool tells me 
that there is no such key. Expected results - it will show me  
default value as described in schema. I've managed to run 
gconftool-2 --shutdown in order to make things work. 
 
The problem is hidden is markup backend in markup-tree.c. There is function  
load_dir which has cache - key "subdirs_loaded". This key doesn't updated 
after schema install. As a result application crashes, since it can't get 
default values.

The 2.7 branch reloads the base on a SIGHUP signal, but this code has a problem
for the moment and breaks the listeners:

        Fix problem with schemas install. Bug #151334.

        * gconf/gconftool.c: (process_locale_info): install the
        global default in the C locale only.
Comment 5 Nickolay V. Shmyrev 2004-08-30 17:07:48 UTC 
The last comment (#4) doesn't related to this bug.

Here is part of new documentation:

Since the daemon caches values it may not notice when new schemas are installed
from "make install" or an RPM/deb package. However, it is\ possible to notify
the daemon to re-load its caches by sending it a SIGHUP signal.

So we should include killall -s HUP gconfd-2 in our makefiles after installation
of schemas. Note that you'll need GCONF >= 2.7.3 to do this.

Thanks to all.
