GConf:ERROR:gconf-value.c:768:gconf_value_copy: code should not be reached A crash occurred in Docky, which was caused by libgconf. Docky's calls to libgconf (in this case, to libgconf2-cil as Docky is Mono) are wrapped in try/catches and failed to catch this causing a full Mono crash/exit. (Relevant) Native thread stack trace:

GConf has been deprecated since 2011. GConf is not under active development anymore. Its codebase has been archived: https://gitlab.gnome.org/Archive/gconf/commits/master dconf and gsettings are its successors. See https://developer.gnome.org/gio/stable/ch34.html and https://developer.gnome.org/GSettings/ for porting info. Closing this report as WONTFIX as part of Bugzilla Housekeeping to reflect reality. Feel free to open a task in GNOME Gitlab if the issue described in this task still applies to a recent + supported version of dconf/gsettings. Thanks!
