Description Ildar 2017-10-03 09:15:00 UTC 
e.g. $ dconf-editor /org/gnome/settings-daemon/plugins
should show the window navigated to the key
Comment 1 Arnaud B. 2017-10-05 15:42:25 UTC 
Yes, that’s the spirit of the current UI. I’ve pushed a patch that does part of the job [1], even if it is not perfect: the goal would be to always open a new window on the given path even when there’s already a window opened, to not interfere (notably) with modifications not validated; but dconf-editor only supports one window for now and for the times to come (it needs a better UI for multiple windows). I close the bug, as the usual case works, and the corner case are handled by cli notifications. Thanks for reporting!

have a bad news here. I finally got the version with this feature. But it crashes for `ru`  locale like this:
> $  LANG=C dconf-editor /org/gnome/settings-daemon/plugins
> ... WORKS!!!
> $  LANG=ru_RU.UTF-8 dconf-editor /org/gnome/settings-daemon/plugins
> Ошибка сегментирования

Ildar: Please file a separate task for that separate issue, and include a stacktrace with debug symbols. Thanks.

I have currently problems with building sanely (testing a beta release), but looks like I have here a crash with “LANG=C” and no crash with “LANG=ru_RU.UTF-8”. I reopen to investigate, thanks for the bug report.

I think that has been fixed at one point (commit 5664d22d?), and I cannot make it crash anymore, so closing again. If you can reproduce the bug, please open an issue on Gitlab. Thanks!
