Description Eric Heintzmann 2013-01-12 14:29:35 UTC 
With GNOME 3.0 (april 2011), the GNOME Project decided to discontinue GConf.
It won't be maintained anymore: bugs and security holes will not be fixed.
Thus, Gnumeric shouldn't depend on GConf any longer.
Please, migrate to GSettings.
GStettings is the official GNOME replacement for GConf, and the GNOME project
is porting all of its applications to it:

Why are you reporting this against Gnumeric:

aguelzow@kirkman:~/git/gnumeric$ git grep gconf_client
OChangeLog-2003-12-23:  * src/application.h (application_release_gconf_client) :
OChangeLog-2003-12-23:  (application_get_gconf_client) : new
OChangeLog-2003-12-23:  * src/application.c (application_release_gconf_client) :
OChangeLog-2003-12-23:  (application_get_gconf_client) : new
OChangeLog-2003-12-23:  (app_init) : initialize new app.gconf_client
OChangeLog-2003-12-23:  * src/main.c : destroy app.gconf_client on exit
OChangeLog-2005-11-14:  * src/gnumeric-gconf.c (gnm_app_get_gconf_client) : move
OChangeLog-2005-11-14:  * src/application.c : remove the gconf_client
OChangeLog-2005-11-14:  (gnm_app_get_gconf_client) : move for now.
OChangeLog-2005-11-14:  (gnm_app_release_gconf_client) : delete.
aguelzow@kirkman:~/git/gnumeric$

We are clearly not using gconf.

>Why are you reporting this against Gnumeric:

My packages manager says that Gnumeric depends on GConf.
It seems that I shouldn't trust it.
Sorry for the inconvenience.
Thanks for youy answer.
Comment 3 Andreas J. Guelzow 2013-01-13 01:35:31 UTC 
If you are using MSWindows you are probably using a pretty old (Gnome 2) version of Gnumeric, 1.10.16 or so. In those days Gnumeric was (indirectly) using GConf.
