Description Jathish 2002-03-22 15:25:16 UTC 
Gnome Beta 2 was built on a Solaris 9 (32 bit) sun sparc machine.

Description:
Many keyboard options are not working properly. When set thru control 
center.

Steps:
1. Invoke control center by typing gnome2-control-center at the command 
prompt.
2. Select "Preferences:Keyboard"
3. Set "Cursor blinks in text fields" . It iis not working
4. No keyboard bell could be heared even if you set it.
5. Once if you uncheck the option "Keyboard repeat when key is hold down" 
it works. But it is not possible to set it back even by checking the 
option.

Lauris: can you look at these issues? thanks.

Note that when I try to do #5 with CVS, I get the following error. #3
also appears to be broken. I also get similar messages from all
options on the 'Sound' page, making the page completely useless, AFAICT.

This isn't a solaris-specific bug; I see this with RedHat 7.2/Gnome 2
Ximian snapshot RPMs
Comment 5 Jody Goldberg 2002-03-29 16:14:48 UTC 
The int vs float warnings on the sound page have been patched in the recent
release.  I've just patched the click_volume warning.
Comment 6 Jody Goldberg 2002-03-30 01:45:45 UTC 
Ok, after a bit of research I understand more about the cursor blink code.
It looks like the settings daemon was missing something to map from the gconf
changes -> the XSETTINGS parms.  I've added them.  Lets see what happens now.
Comment 7 Jody Goldberg 2002-03-30 03:30:53 UTC 
#3 works on CVS
and the keyboard autorepeat control also toggles as appropriate now
even if displaying remotely.

I'll have a look key clicks in a sec.

What is left of this bug is a duplicate of the more concise bug 78016.
Marking as such.
