Description Antoine Jacoutot 2011-05-05 08:50:13 UTC 
Hi.

I'm running with the latest dconf+dconf-editor from git as of today (Thu May  5 10:47:13 CEST 2011) on OpenBSD/i386.
When using dconf-editor to change a value, the display does not refresh. For example, when I want to check or uncheck a box, I need to restart dconf-editor to see the change.
I have no warning or error whatsoever in the logs, .xsession-errors nor console.

Any clue where I should look to try and debug this?

I can confirm this bug.

Robert pinged me to let me know that it's caused by the fact that the DConfClient doesn't support watching.  He was right, but now I've fixed that and the editor still appears to be broken.

I'll poke him back and let him know that he has some more work to do on his side. :)

Somewhat related I suppose, when I change the background in gnome-control-center it doesn't change until I re-log.

Hi Ryan.

Any news about this bug?
Comment 4 Allison Karlitskaya (desrt) 2011-06-11 13:59:39 UTC 
Not that I know about.  Robert?
Comment 5 Antoine Jacoutot 2011-06-13 17:38:52 UTC 
In case that can help debug this, 'dconf watch /org/' works just fine and sees the dconf changes without issue. So it looks like something is not re-parsing/re-loading the dconf entries or so after a change...

    Add change watching to dconf-editor
    
    Watch for changes to DConf and update the view.  This is not done in the
    most elegant or efficient way, but it's simple and it works.
